The killer(s) have not been found. $20,000 reward being offered by the FBI. Duong Nguyen emigrated from Vietnam decades ago and was so proud of his new country that he named his son and daughter, America and Virginia, respectively, and even got a tattoo of his date of citizenship. Sometime between midnight Nov. 7 (Wed.) and 6:00 am on Nov. 8 (Thur.), 2018, a person(s) entered his home at 11027 Salisbury Lane, Bealeton, VA, and shot him and his son dead. Authorities reported multiple gun shot wounds to their upper torsos. The mother and daughter had been away in Vietnam for a few weeks attending to a sick relative and were set to return in a week before the murders happened. While away, the women talked with the men every day. When they didn’t hear from the men after repeated attempts to contact them on November 8, they asked friends to check on them. One of the friends called the Fauquier County Sheriff’s office to request a welfare check. At around 9:30 am on November 9 (Fri.), deputies went to the home and entered through an unlocked door and found the bodies of Duong and America. The family had just moved into their newly built house in a new, but small subdivision in the summer of 2017. A year and half later, the father and son would be murdered and the house would be sold through a short sale. Months after the murders, Google Maps still did not correctly locate their address because the subdivision was so new. The house sits off of VA Rt. 29, a major four lane highway. Bealeton is a small, but growing town that is located 18 minutes north of Culpeper and 30 minutes south of Manassas. Much like the Nguyen’s, people have been moving to Bealeton from Northern Virginia because of the affordable housing built on larger plots of land. For the most part, Bealeton is a blue collar town with smaller subdivisions surrounded by small to mid-sized farms producing dairy and beef. There are lots of places for hunting and fishing. Downtown Bealeton consists of two strip malls with a Food Lion as its only grocery store. Rt. 17, Rt. 29, and Rt. 28 all intersect around downtown Bealeton. According to a July 2019 U.S. Census estimate, 1.7% of the population in Fauquier County, where Bealeton is located, is of Asian descent. This is compared to Prince William County, a neighboring county to the north, that has an Asian population of 9.4%. Authorities believe the killer(s) may have traveled on the Rt. 28 corridor from and to Manassas/Prince William County on the evening and early mornings around the time the murders happened.

But someone wanted the Mr. Nguyen and his son dead and detectives are trying to figure out who. "This doesn't appear to be random," said Capt. James Hartman with the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f15fce02dff725f943d8fa0/t/5f1857b6cdfeb522f23e3ce0/1595430889643/NBC4+video.jpg News - NBC4 Washington January 17, 2019 Virginia Family Terrified After Mysterious Double Homicide “My brother, he’s still really young,” Virginia said. “He’s very naïve and gullible. He’s at that age where you just want to have fun.” She and her mother were visiting a sick relative in Vietnam when Duong and America were killed. While the women were away, the family spoke every day. “My dad would always ask me and my mom, ‘Do you miss me, do you love me?’” Virginia said. “And he was like, ‘I miss you so much and I love you.’” But one day, neither man answered his phone. After a second day passed, the sheriff’s office checked the family’s Bealeton home Nov. 9 and found the two men shot to death. The family had lived in the newly built home for only a year. They’d chosen it because Duong loved the big yard and the safety of tiny Bealeton. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f15fce02dff725f943d8fa0/t/5f18608acf47ca4d55a8f0fd/1595433318126/LocalDVM.com+news+story.jpg News - LocalDVM.com September 26, 2019 Cold Case: FBI investigates mysterious death of Fauquier County father and son “They didn’t seem to have any specific enemies or anybody that they’ve been arguing with or concerned at this point. We have not been able to determine why these two people were chosen,” said Detective Candyce Shaw. Although the shooter and the motive remains a mystery. There’s one piece of evidence that investigators say is unquestionable. “The route 28 corridor south of here is where the Nguyen house is located and then north is Route 28 north it goes into Prince William County and Manassas,” Sgt. Hartman said. “We have strong reason to believe that whoever is responsible for this crime traveled this corridor Route 28 from the Nguyen residence to the Prince William County, Nokesville, Manassas area.” The Fauquier County Sheriff’s office wants to hear from anyone who may have traveled Route 28 between November 7 and November 8. The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest. https://www.nguyenmurders.com/duong-america daily 0.75 2020-07-22 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f15fce02dff725f943d8fa0/t/5f184a793816d43508c41ca6/1595427460426/Duong+Nguyen+on+mower+700.jpg Duong & America - "My dad's favorite thing to do was work on the yard. When we first moved in, my dad spent months, every day, physically pulling out every single weed in our 1.18 acres of land. My mom and brother would occasionally help out. He would then plant new grass seeds in our yard, making sure there was no weed left. After his hard work and determination, he was finally able to enjoy his lawn with great contentment. He also especially enjoyed mowing the lawn; he enjoyed it so much he would mow the lawn almost daily." - Virginia Nguyen (daughter) — Virginia Nguyen https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f15fce02dff725f943d8fa0/t/5f184b070d2c1a774163ec02/1595427598671/America+Nguyen+with+guitar.jpg Duong & America - One of my brother’s favorite hobbies is playing the guitar.

One day, he took me out to a pet shelter to look at puppies and he was instantly in awe with the baby husky.
