Currently, Mr. Kiet's body has been brought back to Quang Nam by his family for funeral arrangements.

According to Mr. Tuan (Kiệt's father), on the afternoon of June 3, he heard that Kiet was shot in the head on National Highway 1, passing through An Thoi Dong Ward, District 12, so he immediately went to the scene.

According to Mr. Tuan, at around 2:00 p.m. on June 3, Kiet drove a motorbike with license plate 59V - 8.2218 carrying a friend named Nam on National Highway 1 in the motorbike lane from Thu Duc District to An Suong intersection.

At that time, in the car lane, there was a group of young men organizing a "storm", racing parallel to Mr. Kiet's car. Suddenly, 2 people on an Exciter motorbike overtook and opened fire on the "storm" group of cars.

These two strangers fired several shots, one of which hit Mr. Kiet in the head, causing him to fall onto the road. The convoy of vehicles scattered and ran away.

Mr. Kiet was taken to a nearby medical station for emergency treatment, then transferred directly to Military Hospital 175, but he died.
