Kim Anh Thi Nguyen, 52, was found shot to death inside her home on Kenjoy Drive in the Southland Park neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday, January 30, 2024. Her husband, 41-year-old Tho Luong, initially reported her missing, but investigators shifted focus to him as the probe progressed. Authorities say Luong had a history of domestic violence and had previously threatened his wife’s life.

Luong fled the state after filing the false report and was located the next day at a motel in Ellicott City, Maryland. He was arrested there on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, in possession of a 2011 black BMW and held at the Howard County Detention Center pending extradition to Kentucky. A judge initially set bond at $250,000; prosecutors sought a higher amount because Luong had allegedly threatened to harm himself and others, and the judge later raised bond to one million dollars. A public defender was appointed for his legal proceedings.

Anyone with information about Kim Nguyen, her movements on January 30, 2024, or who saw a 2011 black BMW in the Southland Park area is asked to come forward.
