The suspected gangster armed with a gun who was shot dead in a gunfire near Hanoi’s Parkson center is son of the former director of the Quang Ninh provincial Department of Justice.
Nguyen Minh Duong, aka Nguyen Tran Hoang, 29, was shot at the chest at around 1am on Wednesday when he was walking with an unidentified man in front of the Parkson Commercial Center at No 1 Thai Ha Street in Dong Da district.
Tien Phong reported that Duong hails from the northern Quang Ninh province and is the son of Mr. Nguyen Hong Truong, former director of the Justice Department in Quang Ninh.
An autopsy showed Duong sustained a deep gun shot.
Police have seized a military K54 gun and seven bullets which were found on Duong’s body.
A search of Duong’s rented room in Hanoi turned up a Colt gun and 19 bullets.
According to Tuoi Tre, police suspect this is a gang fight.
Who was Duong? Why did he have guns? Who is the mystery Samaritan?
According to Tien Phong, a taxi driver at around 1am Wednesday saw a seriously injured man and a healthy young man waving.
The driver working for Thu Huong taxi company stopped, took in the two passengers and drove them to the Giao Thong Van Tai (transport) Hospital nearby.
One of them turned out to be Duong while the other who earlier helped Duong into the taxi mysteriously left after arriving at the hospital.
It is suspected that this unidentified good Samaritan could be a gang member evading arrest.
According to Tien Phong, police said that Duong has been renting Room 303 at the Villa Hotel at 133 Thai Ha Street in Hanoi since November last year.
Tien Phong reported that Duong was walking with an unidentified man near Parkson when two men on a motorbike pressed up against them.
One of the two men on the bike fired one shot into Duong’s chest, then drove away.
Hanoi police are investigating.
It is not clear whether the man walking with Duong is the mysterious Samaritan or not.
In Vietnam, buying, selling, storing or using guns is absolutely banned, except for the military, police and other authorized forces.
