On the night of July 25, 2014, Jack Yang, 32, was shot while a passenger in a vehicle near West Lisbon Avenue and North 51st Street in Milwaukee. He and 20-year-old Beelee Chang were passengers in a 1994 Lexus driven by 23-year-old Do Thao. Thao, who had been drinking that evening and held a concealed carry permit, opened fire inside the car. Yang was hit in the back of the neck and shoulder; Chang suffered a gunshot wound to the back of his head and was found dead at the scene. The car crashed into a building and Yang was taken to Froedtert Hospital in critical condition, where he died the following day.

Responding officers found Thao hiding in nearby bushes; his clothes appeared bloody and an empty holster was on his belt. A Ruger .380 semi-automatic pistol was recovered from the vehicle. Thao was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon. During trial the defense said alcohol and sleep paralysis affected Thao and his memory; Thao expressed remorse and said he carried the gun for protection. The case was emotional for the victims families and the defendant’s family; Thao was found guilty and sentenced to 42 years in prison with 18 years of probation.
