On March 6, 2016, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 32-year-old Mai K. Vue, a woman of Hmong descent, was one of three people killed in a neighborhood rampage. Her 36-year-old husband, Phia Vue, and their 40-year-old neighbor, Jesus R. Manso-Pérez, were also killed. The suspect was their 39-year-old neighbor, Dan Popp.

According to the sequence reported, Popp first encountered Manso-Pérez and his son, became agitated when they declined his offer of a beer and continued speaking Spanish, and then fatally shot Manso-Pérez after making a derogatory remark about their Puerto Rican heritage. Popp had earlier knocked on the Vues’ door and left when a relative answered; later the Vues heard gunshots and locked themselves in a bedroom. Popp then kicked down the door, demanded Phia come out, and shot him. Popp dragged Mai Vue and her two young daughters to his apartment; some family members escaped and called police.

Law enforcement arrested Popp at the scene. He was charged with three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, and the court later found him guilty and sentenced him to life without parole. Does anyone have additional details about the victims’ lives or the neighborhood that could help others understand what happened?
