The two drivers then began disputing a parking spot, which escalated into an argument. Trung retrieved a golf club from his vehicle and struck Xanh's arm. Enraged by the assault, Xanh returned to his bus, grabbed a sharp knife, and stabbed Trung multiple times in the arm and chest, causing his death.
