After the argument, Huy took out a gun hidden on his person and shot Phong straight in the left chest, then escaped with his friends in a car.
Suspect Tran Duc Huy (17 years old, living in Gia Chieu 2, Tang Bat Ho town, Hoai An district) shot a young man in the chest for using a provocative photo of his ex-girlfriend on Facebook.
Previously, at 8:00 p.m. on December 23, Tran Nhat Phong (26 years old, residing in Binh Chuong village, Hoai Duc commune, Hoai Nhon district) and a number of other young men went to a summer drinking place in De Duc 3 village, Hoai Tan commune.

While drinking, Phong saw Huy and some other young men riding a motorbike to park in front of the restaurant. Huy called Phong out to talk, then the two sides argued loudly with each other. Huy took out a gun hidden on his person and shot Phong straight in the left chest, then he and his friends got on the motorbike and escaped.
Phong was taken by his friends to Bong Son Regional General Hospital, then transferred to Binh Dinh Provincial General Hospital for emergency treatment.
After committing the crime, at noon on December 24, suspect Tran Duc Huy was taken by his family to the Hoai Nhon District Police headquarters to surrender.
At the police station, Huy confessed that he was in love with a girl who was Phong's girlfriend before. Phong was jealous so he transferred some pictures of Phong and his girlfriend when they were still in love to Huy's Facebook with provocative comments. From then on, Huy was angry and sought revenge...
