A Fresno County teenager was sentenced to six years in juvenile custody for murdering his parents and attempting to kill his sister in Miramonte, California. The case, tried in juvenile court due to his age under 16 at the time, highlights California’s restrictions on trying minors as adults.
Incident Overview
On December 27, 2023, the then-14-year-old called 911 claiming an intruder attacked his family at their home on Dunlap Road. Deputies found parents Lue Yang and Se Vang, both 37, dead, their 11-year-old daughter severely injured (she survived after surgery), and their 7-year-old son unharmed.
Investigation and Confession
A week later, the boy admitted fabricating the intruder story and using multiple weapons to attack his family. No motive was publicly disclosed, and many details remain sealed under juvenile proceedings.
Court Proceedings
Now 16, he pleaded guilty in December 2025 to the murders and attempted murder. A teacher described him as a straight-A student during the February 2026 sentencing hearing.
Sentencing Details
The judge imposed six years—the maximum possible was seven—meaning release at age 22. A GoFundMe supports the surviving siblings.​
