suspected kidnapping and torture
of a marijuana
dispensary owner.
Accused of
murder with
gang-related
enhancement.
Awaiting trial for
attempted murder
and firing a gun
inside a residence.
Sheriff’s deputies say Duong
kidnapped the 74-year-old
cab driver at gunpoint. The
fugitives used Ma to cash
checks, book
motel rooms
and dragged
him along
for several
days.
Duong responded
to a Craigslist ad
selling a white GMC,
and while on a test
drive stole the van.
Investigators said
they believed the
three escapees were
living out of the
stolen vehicle for
some time.
Bac Duong, 43, turned
himself in at a Santa Ana
auto shop owned by one of
his friends.
“We cooperated with
the police, they asked for
surveillance footage and I
gave it to them right away,”
owner
Tim
Tran
said.
