Tu Anh Phan, 49, of Prior Lake, Minnesota, was fatally shot on November 23, 2022, while dining at Cô Tu' Oriental Cuisine in Bloomington. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner confirmed Phan died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. A 25-year-old server was also injured and is expected to recover.

Police say a masked gunman entered the restaurant around lunchtime, opened fire, and fled. Surveillance footage reportedly captured the attack and the suspect’s escape. Investigators arrested Aaron Le, 47, in Oklahoma on Thanksgiving Day after tracking his mobile phone; he was charged with second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder. The criminal complaint alleges Le targeted Phan because he believed Phan had begun a romantic relationship with Le’s ex-wife, a claim the ex-wife denied. The FBI previously looked into a murder-for-hire tip in this circle but did not substantiate it.

Bloomington’s police chief described the attack as cold-blooded and said the suspect took precautions to avoid detection. Are there witnesses who were in the restaurant that day or anyone with additional information about the relationship between the parties?
