  • Nightclub Death: Bystanders Videotaped Fatal Beating

    Annie “Kim” Pham was brutally murdered in front of a crowd, some of them videotaping the death with their cellphones, outside a Santa Ana nightclub Jan. 18.

    “The fact that you had a lot of witnesses, that’s what’s really troublesome. How many people actually stepped in and tried to stop it?” said Senator Lou Correa (D-Sanat Ana).

    Pham who aspired to become a TV personality once wrote about the power of photos in people’s lives:

    ‘We are taught that with photos, we select the ones where smiles are fresh and forward — the good is often highlighted. As for your own life, don’t forget that sometimes the most beautiful lessons in life stem from the unconventional. The elevated focus on showing everyone how much of a superstar you are on social media is quite unnecessary. The greatest harm we can do to ourselves is to not take the chance.”

    “I hope that people out there realize how wrong this is,” said Pham’s second cousin, Kathleen Trinh.

    Two suspects have been arrested for the attack and a third is being sought.

    A witness claims a woman became angry when Pham and her friends cut in front of them as they were taking a photo, leading to an argument that led to the beating. Pham was transported to a hospital where she succumbed to head trauma.

    Vanesa Zavala, of Santa Ana was arrested on Monday. The 25-year–old mother of a young son plead not guilty to a murder charge and is being held on $1 million bail.

    A 27-year-old woman was arrested on Friday but her name has yet to be released.

    Police Chief Carlos Rojas told KNBC-TV, “We are looking for the third person. She was involved in the physical altercation, and we are naming her as a person of interest at this point.”

    A reward of $10,000 is being offered by Santa Ana and other local businesses for information leading to the arrest of anyone involved in the California nightclub death.

    Pham was an organ donor and her organs have saved five lives so far.

  • Ceramic Squirrel Stabbing – Woman Assults Husband

    South Carolina authorities say a 44-year-old woman, Helen Williams, angry at a her husband for returning home without beer on Christmas – beat and stabbed him with a ceramic squirrel.

    Apparently the man, who in reality is her common law husband, returned home without the beer she wanted and she went crazy.

    Sources say he went into the kitchen to make a sandwich when she hit him on the head with the ceramic squirrel. She continued hitting him, landing onto his chest and other areas until he escaped the beating.

    The man fled to a neighbor’s home to call 911, and when officers arrived shortly after midnight — they found him covered in blood with cuts on his shoulder and face, according to the report. When he took off his shirt, they found a big gash in his chest, it said.

    The Charleston County Sheriff’s office said in a report that deputies found a man covered with blood when they arrived at Helen Williams’ North Charleston home early Wednesday. She told investigators the man fell and cut himself, but couldn’t explain why her hands and clothes were also bloody.

    The man was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening wounds, NBC station WCBD of Charleston reported.

    Williams was arrested and charged with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature.
