On April 12, 2023, 17-year-old Cesar Chavez High School student Thai Khin was fatally shot at Unity Park in Stockton, California. The shooting happened about 3 p.m. while Khin and a 16-year-old friend were playing basketball at the park across the street from the high school. Two suspects approached and attempted to rob the teens; the 16-year-old was pistol-whipped and Khin was shot when he stepped in to help. Both suspects fled on foot.

Emergency responders took Khin to a local hospital, where he died. The 16-year-old suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was expected to recover. The school briefly locked down; the district provided counselors, mental health clinicians, and social work assistants on campus. Stockton Police increased patrols around Unity Park and the high school and urged anyone with information to contact investigators. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open.

Did anyone in the community see the suspects or have information about the robbery and shooting?
