According to the investigation, at approximately 10:30 PM on 31/3, Y Phung Nie and his friends were drinking at an acquaintance's house in a hamlet within Krong Ana commune. Feeling frustrated by youths from another hamlet who frequently rode motorcycles loudly through the area, displaying provocative behavior, the group decided to ambush and attack them.

Subsequently, they armed themselves with swords, pig-sticking knives, sticks, and beer bottles. They then positioned themselves near the hamlet's community house on provincial road 2, waiting in ambush.

At 11:00 PM that same day, upon seeing some youths riding motorcycles and revving their engines loudly, Y Phung Nie's group repeatedly rushed out, blocked their path, pursued them, and severely wounded two people, who required emergency hospitalization.
