Witnesses told police a man got out of a minivan and approached Mr. Phung at the intersection of Cullen and Almeda Genoa. Witnesses then reported hearing several gunshots and saw the minivan and Phung’s silver Chevrolet Cobalt head northbound on Cullen. Phung was found lying in the middle of the street. Both the suspects’ and victim’s vehicles have been recovered.

Further investigation developed Reed and the juvenile male as two of at least three suspects involved in the incident.
