Lam Van Son was 41 and a recent immigrant who built a life in Virginia Beach with his wife, Lanna, and their young son Joshua. The couple owned two local bars, the Witchduck Inn and Lanna’s Village Inn, and were part of the neighborhood’s social fabric.

On the night of June 30, 1994, between about 10 p.m. and midnight, Son was shot and killed during a robbery at the Witchduck Inn while his five-year-old son slept in an adjoining room. Three other people were also murdered that night: employees Karen S. Rounds, 31, and Wendel G. Parrish Jr., 32, and a patron, Abdelaziz Gren, 34. A customer who found the front door locked entered through an open back door and discovered the scene.

Two suspects, Michael David Clagett and Denise Rayne Holsinger, who had formerly worked at the bar, were arrested and charged in connection with the robbery and the killings; both were later convicted. If anyone knew Lam Van Son, his businesses, or was in the Witchduck Inn that night, please share what might help clarify what happened.
