The search for the motive behind the shooting massacre at a Los Angeles-area ballroom dance hall led police to a mobile home community as they probed the past of the 72-year-old suspect Monday and his relationship to the club.
Tran was found dead in the van that he used to flee after attempting to attack a second dance hall, authorities said. The mayor of Monterey Park said Tran may have frequented the first dance hall that he targeted, and his ex-wife told CNN she had met him there and he offered her free lessons.All but one of the victims were 60 or older, according to information released Monday by the Los Angeles coroner’s office providing the first identifications.
In the uncontested case, Tran noted in a filing that he could not get away from work to attend any court hearings, though he did not disclose where he worked or what he did. Hemet police had no records of any incidents involving Tran in the community or calls for service at his home, Reyes said. It was also the deadliest attack since May 24, when 21 people were killed in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
