Jose Joselito Rodriguez, a 31-year-old Hispanic man from Amherst, Massachusetts, was fatally shot at a party at the Southpoint Apartments on October 15, 2016. An altercation at the gathering led Soknang Chham to fire a 9 mm handgun; Rodriguez was struck three times and died almost immediately. Another man was shot and survived.

Witnesses said Soknang and his brother, Soksot Chham, had their backs to a wall when another individual entered the party and that Soknang began shooting, with some attendees reporting he shouted This is a setup. A clear motive was not established in the investigation. Soknang and Soksot fled Massachusetts by bus and were later arrested in Arizona and returned to face charges.

Soknang Chham was indicted on murder and other counts; in February 2019 he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and assault and battery by discharging a firearm and received a 22 to 25 year state prison sentence. The charge against Soksot Chham was dropped in 2017. Family members in court remembered Rodriguez as a loving and devoted father.

Did anyone at the party or nearby that night see something that could explain why the shooting began?
