Something Suspicious In The Rearview |
|
| |
On June 24, 2004, 19-year-old Ponarith Uong borrowed his mother's car to run some errands in Lowell, Mass, right outside of Boston. While driving in rush hour traffic for about a mile, he became suspicious because every time he looked in the rearview mirror he saw a car driving behind him with two men waving at him.
Ponarith tried to get away, but was blocked in by the rush hour traffic. Then, all of a sudden, traffic came to a stand-still because a fire engine was pulling out of the station. At this point, Ponarith was stuck and couldn't move.
Cops say what Ponarith didn't know was that at that moment, he was stuck in a deadly trap. |

Trapped In Traffic |

Ponarith looked into his rearview mirror one more time and watched as one of the men who had been waving at him approached his car. Police say that in front of dozens of cars and four fire engines, the man walked up to Ponarith, pulled out a gun and fired two fatal shots. While Ponarith lay dying in his car, the shooter fled.
With the help of dozens of witnesses, police were able to trace the car back to Samnang "Demon" Meas, 23, and identify the shooter as Daniel "Steamer" Keo Kung, 24, a member of the Tiny Rascals Gang, which is considered one of the largest and most dangerous Asian gangs in the country. |

Tragic Case Of Mistaken Identity |
|
| |
According to police, Kung and Meas were looking for Ponarith's brother for bad-mouthing the gang. Kung was out for revenge, but got the wrong man. Police say the man Kung allegedly killed had dropped out of high school to support his divorced mother.
Cops immediately headed to Meas' house, looking for him and Kung, but missed the men by just a few minutes. Authorities say the two were headed to pick up their friend, Jonathan Guzman, on their way out of town. They stopped in Providence, R.I. to drop off Guzman at his girlfriend's house then headed down the coast to Spartanburg, S.C.
Cops were able to trace the fugitives to a Rascals Gang safe house, but when they raided the house in South Carolina, they were long gone. Meas and Kung had traveled to California to spend some time on the beach.
In September 2004, an informant told police that Meas and Kung were at a house in Fresno, Calif., and when investigators raided, they found Meas sleeping, but no sign of Kung. |
