On the morning of March 16, 2015, deputies in rural Diamond, Missouri, responded to a family home where 88-year-old Xai Yang, identified in an obituary as Xai Toua Yang, had been found dead of a gunshot wound. Investigators quickly focused on a family member: his grandson, Lee Yang. Authorities said deputies had been called to the residence early the day before and that by the time they arrived the scene was already irreversible.

Lee Yang was arrested and booked on charges including second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, turning a quiet community tragedy into a criminal prosecution. Funeral arrangements for Xai Toua Yang were handled through a nearby funeral home, a reminder of the family mourning behind the case.

Does anyone from the Diamond area remember the Yang family or have information about events leading up to March 16, 2015?
