On November 26, 2023, at about 1:45 a.m., 51-year-old Binh Ben Quoc Do, co-owner of the Sacto By Night nightclub in Sacramento, was fatally shot outside the club in the 7100 block of Governor’s Circle as patrons were leaving. Authorities say a group identified as gang members initially refused to leave at closing; an altercation outside escalated and one of the group opened fire. Do and 23-year-old Stockton resident Ryu Kai Her were struck and both died at the scene.

Witnesses reported a white vehicle fleeing immediately after the shooting. Deputies located that vehicle shortly afterward and detained four people believed connected to the incident; multiple firearms were reportedly found inside. No identities or formal charges have been released. Do is remembered as friendly and helpful; he is survived by his wife and three children, the youngest nine.

Anyone who was at Sacto By Night that night or who has information about the shooting or the fleeing vehicle is asked to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.
