“I think his whole life was going down.” The elderly gunman responsible for the massacre in Monterey Park was out of step with other Asian immigrants who found joy and companionship in venues like the Star Ballroom Dance Studio, former friends said.
January 25, 2023, 4:11 AMSAN GABRIEL, Calif. — The elderly gunman responsible for the dance hall massacre in Monterey Park was out of step with other Asian immigrants who found joy and companionship in venues like the Star Ballroom Dance Studio, former friends said.
While police have struggled to come up with a motive for the bloodshed, they speculated that Tran may have been gunning for his ex-wife when he barged into the Star Ballroom on Saturday and opened fire. The former tenant said he doubts Tran was targeting her. The man said he had lived in an apartment complex owned by Tran for seven to nine years. He said they stopped speaking in 2015 when he moved out and Tran refused to pay back the man’s security deposit.
While he was not wealthy, Tran was able to afford an old Rolls-Royce that he kept parked in his driveway, the person said. He also recalled seeing a white van parked on the modest property, not unlike the one in which Tran died. Police have been searching the property for clues since Sunday and have not come up with an explanation for Tran’s turn to violence.
