On June 8, 2024, deputies conducted a welfare check at a residence on East Mettler Road near Lodi, California, after family members reported they had been unable to contact the occupants for more than a week. Inside the home deputies found three people fatally shot: 69-year-old Kim Huynh, her husband, 60-year-old Joe Pena, and their son, 45-year-old Alfred Nguyen.

Investigators quickly concluded the killings were targeted and that the victims knew the attacker. To protect the investigation and prevent the suspect from fleeing, officials initially withheld details from the public. The community around Lodi has been described as deeply affected by the family’s deaths as friends and neighbors mourn and seek answers.

Are there people who knew Kim Huynh or the family and can share information about their relationships or recent contacts?
