Anh The Duong
Summary of Offense:
Josefino Cambosa, 54, an Atlas Security & Patrol guard from San Jose, was shot and killed about 3 p.m. March 13, 2001, as he emerged from a backroom of the Jade Galore Jewelry Co. store where he worked. Anh The Duong, 30, who is accused in seven other slayings and 15 other armed robberies, pulled the trigger while accompanied by Soewin Chan and Philip Garza, both of whom also had guns.
Chan and Duong had cased the jewelry store eight days before the robbery and slaying at the Cupertino Village shopping center on North Wolfe Road, the indictment says. The three men escaped with $532,650 in watches but were later identified and arrested, including Duong, who was taken into custody four months later as he played basketball at an Orange County gym. Duong was sentenced to death on March 7, 2003 for killing four people at a birthday party at a nightclub in El Monte (Los Angeles County) in May 1999. Duong allegedly oversaw a ring of robbers that took cash, jewelry and computer parts across the state and in Las Vegas.
