Se Vang, 37, and her husband Lue Yang were killed in their Miramonte, California home on December 27, 2023. Their 14-year-old son first told deputies an intruder had attacked his parents and his 11-year-old sister, but investigators found inconsistencies in that account. Deputies discovered evidence that the teenager fabricated the break-in story and had carried out the attacks using multiple weapons found in the home.

Both parents were found deceased and the 11-year-old sister was critically injured and taken to hospital for emergency surgery; she is expected to survive. A 7-year-old boy who was present was uninjured and is now living with other family members. The 14-year-old was arrested and booked into Juvenile Hall on two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder; his identity has not been released because he is a minor. Authorities say no motive has been determined and the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case.

The family faces emotional and financial hardship; a GoFundMe was set up to help with funeral and medical expenses and ongoing support for the children. If anyone knew the family or has information that could assist the investigation, please come forward.
