Ma Kaing was known in her apartment building for helping other immigrants assimilate to Denver.
Ma Kaing, 47, was shot and killed Friday, July 15, 2022, in the 1300 block of Xenia Street. A Denver jury convicted a 23-year-old man on Thursday morning of first-degree murder in the 2022 shooting death of a beloved mother and community leader in the East Colfax neighborhood.
Kaing was struck by a bullet just before 11:30 p.m. on July 15, 2022, as she and her family were unloading food from their catering business outside the Hidden Brook Apartments at 1313 Xenia St. They had just begun carrying pans of dessert inside their apartment when a stray bullet from a gunfight across the street struck Kaing.
Kaing arrived in Denver in 2007 with her husband and her oldest son and daughter. She and her husband had two more sons after they came to the city. Their dream was to open a restaurant and buy a house for the family.
