[edit]

Here is what the investigation subsection on the article should like now.

The suspected ringleader, 22-year-old Ri Le, killed his younger half-brother, 17-year-old Khanh Trinh, (one of the gunman stationed at the back of the cafe) then himself in a murder-suicide pact as police officers closed in. Another suspect, 18-year-old Samath Mom, committed suicide in jail just a few hours after his arrest. Four of the other five – Jimmie Chea, John Phet, Sarun Truck Ngeth and Marvin Leo were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole while Veasna Sok, was only convicted of first-degree manslaughter in a plea deal and sentenced to 6-1/2 years in prison.[1][2][3][4][5] On October 30, 2020 John Phet was resentenced to 25 years to life due to Washington State Banning such sentences for juvenile offenders.[6][7]
