The incident began around 6:20 PM on 11/7, when Vo, armed with a knife and accompanied by Tran Van Loi, 31, went to the home of Le Quang Nam, 45, on Nguyen Phuc Chu Street, looking to attack Duy.
Finding Duy drinking with two others on a balcony, Vo attacked him.
Duy wrestled Vo to the ground in the front yard, and a struggle ensued. Loi then joined the attack, striking Duy with a weapon before being restrained by bystanders.
During the struggle, Vo stabbed Duy in the shoulder, killing him instantly.
Authorities confirmed that Vo jumped into the Perfume River after the attack. Loi is currently in custody.
