Uc Thí Vo, who co-owned Kim Tin Jewelry in Sacramento with her husband of 40 years, was killed during the November 2024 robbery.

On Nov. 15, police responded to a report of a robbery at Kim Tin Jewelry on Stockton Boulevard.
A group of 12 suspects had forced their way into the store by breaking the front door and used hammers and pickaxes to smash the display cases and steal jewelry, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
The store’s co-owner, Vinh Tan Nguyen, began shooting at the suspects and mistakenly shot his wife, Uc Thí Vo, as well as one of the suspects, officials said.

The 59-year-old, who immigrated to the United States from Vietnam in 1987, was a mother of four and grandmother of two, as per her online obituary.
Officials said the suspects fled the scene with the stolen jewelry.
