Born and raised in Vinh City, Le Thanh Hai (34 years old, resident of Truong Thi Ward, Vinh City) dropped out of school in 9th grade and followed a group of bad boys, so Hai's hands were soon "dirty". At the age of 19, Hai was sentenced by the People's Court of Nghe An Province to 5 years and 6 months in prison for the crimes of theft, robbery, and extortion.

In April 2008, Le Thanh Hai finished serving his prison sentence and returned to his hometown. Hai was thought to be serious about his business, but he continued to commit crimes, even though he now had a wife and children.

To have money to satisfy his addiction, Hai bought drugs to sell and use, and was caught red-handed by Vinh City Police. For the second time, Hai had to appear in court. After more than 2 years of serving his prison sentence, at the end of September 2013, Hai was pardoned and released early to return to his hometown. On February 2, 2015, Hai participated in a theft case, was arrested by Vinh City Police, and was later sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison.

In May 2017, Hai was released from prison and returned to his hometown and had relationships with many people with bad backgrounds such as Vu Hoai My (30 years old), often called My "Miss", residing in Vinh Tan ward, Vinh city.

My "aunt" is a dangerous criminal. In 2012, My was tried by the court for intentionally causing injury, but was given a suspended sentence. Although they are currently on probation in their locality, after becoming friends, this couple is ready to intimidate anyone who does not cede their territory to them.

Among the opponents that My "co" and Hai searched for to "teach" a lesson for life was a subject named Thai (often called Thai "phong") residing in Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh. Thai "phong" had once encountered My "co".

In that encounter, because Thai "phong's" juniors were too strong and had weapons with them, while My "co" was unarmed and alone, she had to retreat to defend. After this failure, My "co" was determined to wait for an opportunity to intimidate Thai "phong".

At around 11pm on September 29, a group of young people from Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh province went to sing karaoke at 108, Phan Dinh Phung street, Vinh city. Suspecting that one of the group had previously treated them "unkindly", My "the girl" and Hai discussed going there to confront them.

Before leaving, My "she" carried a pistol with her, and Hai brought an electric baton. When they arrived, they knew that a group of young people were singing in room 210. My and Hai pushed the door open, entered the room, and shouted: "Turn on the lights."

Because they knew each other before, Phan Cong Sang (a member of the group) stood up and asked: "What's the matter, My?". My did not answer, but raised her chin and asked back: "Thai Phong Mo?". "Who knows Thai Phong Mo to ask?", Sang replied.

My used her right hand to pull out a pistol and point it at Sang's neck, saying as if giving an order: "If you don't tell me, I'll shoot you dead right here." Dao Ngoc Tuan ran over and was shot in the thigh by My. Hai took out an electric baton and pointed it at Tuan and Sang, who fired an electric spark to threaten him.

Hearing the gunshots, the group rushed to beat My "co" and Hai. During the fight, My "co" continued to use the gun to fire 2 more shots, 1 shot hit Nguyen Xuan Thong in the stomach, 1 shot hit Tran Cao Nguyen's left arm. Hai used an electric baton to hit the group of young men who were rushing to beat him but was cornered in front of the reception desk on the 2nd floor.

My "girl" was cornered, had her gun taken away, and was then hit in the head with a fire extinguisher by someone, causing her to faint on the spot. About 10 minutes later, Vinh City Police and riot police arrived, conducted a crime scene investigation, and initially seized a handgun and many shell casings.

My "aunt" suffered a brain hemorrhage and was taken to Cua Dong General Hospital for emergency treatment and underwent skull surgery to treat the injury.

Dao Ngoc Tuan was shot in the right thigh and was taken to Cua Dong General Hospital for emergency treatment, then transferred to Viet Duc Hospital (Hanoi) for surgery to remove the bullet still lodged in his thigh.

Nguyen Xuan Thong was shot in the abdomen, the bullet penetrated to the buttocks. After receiving first aid and preventing blood loss, Thong was taken by his family to Ha Tinh General Hospital for surgery to remove the bullet. As for Tran Cao Nguyen, after being shot through the left arm, he quickly called a taxi to go to Ha Tinh General Hospital to bandage the wound and receive treatment.

To serve the investigation, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Huu Cuong - Deputy Head of Vinh City Police Department directed the Criminal Police Team to urgently send all evidence of the above case to the Ministry of Public Security for appraisal. According to the appraisal conclusion of the Institute of Criminal Science, the gun used by Vu Hoai My was a Galesi Mod 9 military gun, 6.35mm caliber.

The Vinh City Police Department has requested an injury assessment for Dao Ngoc Tuan, Nguyen Xuan Thong, and Tran Cao Nguyen. Vu Hoai My, however, has not been able to give a statement due to her serious injuries and is not healthy enough to work.

Based on the statements of the suspects, combined with collected evidence, on October 8, the Vinh City Police Department prosecuted and detained Vu Hoai My to investigate the crimes of murder and illegal possession of military weapons; and prosecuted Le Thanh Hai to investigate the crime of disturbing public order.

The case is under further investigation.
