According to the police, late on February 4, the four people above, along with two people from Binh Dinh (the police are still searching for), were traveling on four motorbikes.

On To Hien Thanh - Bach Dang street (Nha Trang city), Mr. LTV (34 years old, residing in Phuong Sai ward, Nha Trang city; director of an advertising company) was driving a 7-seat car when he saw the group driving side by side, so he approached and honked continuously to ask for the right of way.

At this time, the group of young men on the motorbikes were a little drunk and got angry, so they argued. Mr. V. sped forward, but the group of young men chased after him. When they reached Ly Tu Trong Street, the group of motorbikes smashed the window of Mr. V.'s car, forcing it to stop. After that, Truong Minh Hung pulled out a knife he had hidden on his person, stabbed Mr. V. in the chest, and then the group left the scene.

Mr. V. was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. However, his injuries were too severe and he died later. After the incident, on February 5, the Criminal Police Department of Khanh Hoa Province issued a decision to initiate a criminal case to investigate and clarify the case. On the evening of February 10, PC45 arrested 4 suspects related to the incident and is continuing to search for other suspects.

At the investigation agency, the suspects confessed to all their crimes. The police determined that the incident occurred due to a minor conflict while participating in traffic. Before that, the two sides had never had any conflict.
