A family celebration in Brooklyn Park intended to welcome new babies ended in murder. Nichanon Kittikroekphon, 34, also known by his stage name Tswb Moua, was fatally shot on September 21, 2024, during a gathering of about 30 people. According to witnesses, an argument with his 32-year-old cousin, Lue Chang, escalated after Chang told Kittikroekphon Today you’re going to die and then fired a handgun at close range. Nichanon was hit multiple times in the abdomen and back, shot again as he tried to crawl away, and a young child was about a foot from him in the backyard when the shooting occurred.

Family members tackled and held Chang until police arrived. Nichanon was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead; a firearm was recovered at the residence and Chang was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree murder. Nichanon was remembered as a rising singer from Thailand and an expectant father; his wife was due to give birth.

Does anyone have information about the party, the altercation, or the people who were present that night?
