According to the case file, in August 2016, Mr. Bui Huu Phuc (born in 1988, residing in Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City) applied for a job at Viet Nhat Security Services Company Limited. After the interview, Mr. Phuc agreed to sign a probationary contract and was assigned to protect targets at the company with a starting salary of 4.2 million VND/month.

After working for a month, Mr. Phuc submitted a resignation letter for family reasons. According to company regulations, from the time an employee submits a resignation letter, it takes 30-45 days for the board of directors to process it.

After the above appointment time, Mr. Phuc came to the company many times to request salary payment but was not satisfied.

At around 3:20 p.m. on December 5, Mr. Phuc was driven by his mother, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy (born in 1971), to the Viet Nhat Security Services Company Limited to receive his salary. Because they could not get the money back, Ms. Thuy and Phuong got into a heated argument.

Phuong then pointed the gun up to the sky and pulled the trigger, the gun fired once in front of many people. Phuong's actions were secretly recorded by a local resident and posted on social media, causing a stir in public opinion.

After firing the warning shot, Phuong went into the company. Ms. Thuy and her son went to the police station of Ward 15, Tan Binh District to report the entire incident.
