A few days after a Vietnamese-American man was found shot dead in his home in an upscale Bay Area neighborhood, police said they think the crime may be drug related, reports KPIX CBS5 here.
Linh Tu Nguyen, 33, was found dead in his home on Orion Road in San Leandro. Police responding to reports of a shooting found Nguyen “suffering from gunshot wounds.”
Paramedics pronounced Nguyen dead at the scene.
Two days later, police announced that a large amount of marijuana was recovered from the home. They do not think the shooting was random.
Orion Road (pictured below) is located in Marina Vista, a particularly nice part of town, with many spacious homes, most of which were newly built in the 1990s.
A neighbor describes the area to the Contra Costa Times here as “a very quiet neighborhood of mostly Asian-American families, where most parents leave for work in the mornings.”
Nguyen’s killing was the city’s second homicide this year.

Another Vietnamese gets killed, and once again it’s over drugs. Deport all of them and California might be able to recover from the financial crisis were in. They come here and sit on our welfare system and do nothing to help our economy except drain it.
We second to that !!!
The drug house will be on the auction block. Cheap.
bobbie, I agree but don’t forget gamblers with addiction.
bobbie and elders and all ignorants…so viets are the only ones fighting over drugs, milking the welfare system, and gamblers??
You must live near sucessful viets whose shadows you walk under to say something like that. Who are the ones we see on the news and reality shows like COPS and America’s Most Wanted?…do you see many Viets?? Do you see many Viets in the welfare and unemployment lines??
Dont blame a race bc you a less successful or just because there’s a few bad seeds out there…This country is a melting pot and there are as many Viets paying taxes as there are also many other bad seeds from other races..
The only ones having any right to talk deportation or exportation are native americans who this land truly belongs to!
Maybe the viets should leave and you should each return to Europe as well and return this country to the Native Americans…
Zoro,
Your lack of knowledge in American history showed the ignorance in your comment. You need to learn before you speak. The Native Americans are not the only ones who has helped to built this country to what it is right now. As an American who has distribute to this homeland I do have every right to speak against anyone who would want to harm my country or my people in any way. And what do you mean by ” don’t blame a race bc you a less successful or just because there’s a few bad seeds out there… ” ? For your information, I am successful and I despise any a** hole regardless of his race that want to sell drugs to kill my people just because he’s too lazy to get a job to make some decent money.
elder and bobbie (lol what a white name), fucc you, you racist amerikkkan beeeoootttchhh. YOUR country? shut da fucc up CUNTry boy. go bacc to europe u dumb anglo saxon aryan brotherhood nazi dick riding white trash =] u kno u wouldnt say any of that to us in front of our face hahahaha
oh yea and whats ur business in a viet website anyway? go talk ur white trash sumwhere else please. cam on thang lon (thanks pu**y) lol
gansta boy, you’re right! I would spit in your face instead of wasting any of words of wisdom on you. Go back to Viet Nam & be a gangster all you want… Oh wait you wouldn’t because you’re too afraid of ” may thang cong san”. You’re a humiliation to yourself, your family and your community! Just wait until your ass is in jail then you would have a really good time with your kind in the cell. Hope you could walk after they finish with you. lol…
Lol @ Elders. It’s 2009, who still says go back to your country? I bet you cried when Obama became president cause a minority took office. Sorry elders, America is home to every race. You probably work in some piece of shit job with no education and got mad that minorities do so much better in school in “your” own country compared to yourself. It is pretty sad when weak dumb fucks like you try to act tough over the internet. Guys like you come a dime a dozen. Go drink your bud light and cry on your couch, while you wish you werent a fat piece of shit.
Boobie & Eldies were showing their true racist color!
Wait, Giun Kim agreed with those two bastards? What a moron JK you little worm!
I don’t know what kind of dream you’re living in but selling drugs to make a quick buck is not my kind of living American dream. Wake up and keep up with the current events, deportation is still and can happen in 2009. And what is pretty sad is seeing some dumbass imbecile like yourself being a nitwit over the internet. And since when a person who’s despising drug dealer became a racist? Might want to ask Santa this year for a dictionary, also if you want to live an American dream then get an education then at least you have something to feel good about yourself instead of rely on drugs to make that happen. And when you’re getting smarter then you could read & understand my comments a little bit better before responding to it with another stupid comment like the one you did today.
Elders,
You need to re-read what you said in your original post. bobbie wrote that all Vietnamese should be deported, and you said, and i quote, “We second to that”. Now THAT is being racist. You said nothing about drug dealers. So I don’t understand why you are so surprised that all these ppl are hating on you. The issue that you need to address to everyone is whether you still want Vietnamese to be deported, or if you had meant that all “drug dealers” should be deported.
Bobbie & Elders go get a life… or stand on a freeway off-ramp to see life for yourself. Your kind of mentality I saw plenty in the South. This country has come a long way since those day. We have an African American President now. We just got a first Vietnamese Amercan Federal Judge confirmed this week, FYI … and wise up when you’re stand in front of her.
Thank you As it is for pointing that out to me. My mistake for not reading it more carefully.
OC Da,
I do have a life, a very good one actually. And what about you, do you have a life or you are the one I often see standing on a freeway off-ramp? I’m glad that you know a little bit about American history and current new events. Keep up the good work and stay off drugs so hopefully you wouldn’t have to wise up when you’re stand up in front of a judge.
