According to the initial investigation, at around 8:00 p.m. on July 9, Tran Van Dat (born in 1993) and his brother Tran Van Dai (born in 1989, residing in village 3, Ea Kao commune, Buon Ma Thuot city) were returning from work when they met Nguyen Tai Minh (born in 1998, residing in the same village) at the Ea Kao market area. Before that, because Minh threatened to slash them, when they saw Minh walking alone, Dat's brothers rushed in and beat him up.
After that, Minh called Nguyen Ba Hung (born in 1997), Pham Tien Dung (born in 1995) and Nguyen Tai Phu (born in 1997) to ride motorbikes, carrying weapons, to Dat's house to resolve the conflict. When Dat just came out of the house, Minh's group rushed in and slashed him, causing Dat to collapse on the spot.
The victim was taken to Dak Lak General Hospital in critical condition by his family. Immediately afterwards, the suspects were arrested by Buon Ma Thuot City Police.
