Se Vang and her husband Lue Yang, both 37, were found dead in their isolated rural home near Miramonte in Fresno County, California, last Wednesday night, allegedly by their 14-year-old son
The families of the tragic California couple allegedly murdered by their 14-year-old son have released family portraits just as they struggle to comprehend factors that would motivate a ‘normal American kid’ could slay both his parents.
Se Vang and her husband Lue Yang, both 37, were found dead in their isolated rural home near Miramonte in Fresno County, California, last Wednesday night.
The boy allegedly also tried to kill his 11-year-old sister but she is expected to recover from her injuries. Another brother, aged 7, was home but not injured.
After attacking his parents, the teen called 911 and claimed an intruder broke in, killed his parents and attacked his sister before fleeing in a pickup truck.
However, that version quickly unraveled, police said.

Yang and Vang were part of a large extended family spread across California and the Midwest who are now desperately trying to figure out what triggered the tragic events.
‘I’ve never cried so much in my life and is still in disbelief. If my tears can build a stairway to heaven I will not stop crying until I can bring you back. Love you two so dearly,’ Yang’s brother Lily Lee wrote.
Family spokesman Pao Yang, who runs the local Fresno Center, said no one had any idea what prompted the alleged murders while describing the emotional state of his extended family: ‘They’re in shock, they’re in tears, they don’t know what’s going on, they don’t know what happened, and you know, you’re dealing with minors. You’re dealing with three children without their parents’.
‘According to them he’s a good kid, normal kid, normal American kid. They don’t know what happened. We want to figure out what happened. We also want to make sure that he’s safe,’ he said.

‘There are no words to express how our hearts continually break while recalling the tragic loss of our beloved siblings and thinking about our babies, who are left to survive in this world without their birth parents.
‘However, as their family, it is our duty to stay strong to get through this tragedy and support their children.’According to relatives Yang and Vang were devoted parents, ‘beacons of light, and leaders within our close-knit circle’ who died in a ‘shocking and untimely manner’.
‘The loss we feel is immeasurable and has left a profound void in our family,’ they said in a statement.

Vang’s sister Julia shared a photo of the siblings as kids, reminiscing on the many great memories ‘We shared growing up together’ and thanking her for ‘making my childhood so memorable’
Neither had life insurance and the family which is part of the Hmong community, an ethnic minority from southern China and northern Vietnam, has established a gofundme page to pay for their funerals and the injured daughter’s medical costs, while providing for their orphaned children, as well.
The crowd funding has raised $14,455 of the $60,000 target.
The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday said the boy could not be charged as an adult under California law, due to his age.
He was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and one of attempted murder. He will not be named because he is a minor.

Fresno County Sheriff John Zanoni said responding deputies arrived at the the scene on the 4700 block of Dunlap Road, about 7.40pm, to find the bodies of the parents and the critically injured girl, who was rushed to hospital.
After their first interview with the teenager, deputies found inconsistencies in the boy’s story of a murderous intruder and formed the view he allegedly made it up to cover his tracks.
He used multiple weapons to murder his parents and attempt to kill his sister, Zanoni alleged.
The boy will face Fresno County Superior Court on Wednesday.
