People stopped by a makeshift memorial in San Jose Friday to remember a Vietnamese couple killed Thursday when they were struck by a carjacked vehicle during a deadly South Bay crime rampage.
Investigators collected evidence for hours Thursday. Two hats, a shirt and a shoe could be seen on the ground.
Family members say the Phams were in their mid 70s and lived in their home with their only son. They were fixtures on the block for about 20 years. "They're a very quiet, gentle older Vietnamese couple and we often saw them in the front yard, especially lately as they were enjoying getting their house painted," said neighbor Sandra Lee Norris."It was a big project for them. We often saw them in front of their house and to the side over here admiring the work."
By the time the suspect, Kevin Parkourana, arrived at 16th and Santa Clara Streets, he had already stabbed two people during two carjackings in different parking lots. He later hit a pedestrian with a car in one of the parking lots. Parkourana fatally stabbed another person at a Milpitas shopping center before he was arrested, according to police.
"Pretty horrible. We just feel so much for the families involved in all these incidents, the stabbings and the people that are in critical condition. We're tracking it very closely and our hearts are just broken because they happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time," said Lee Norris."I didn't sleep last night, I just couldn't sleep.""Feel sad, feel hurt in my body and my heart. Everything," he said.
