Dead Couple Were Having Marital Problems

"IRVING, TX — Police say an Irving man dropped his 5-year-old child off with a neighbor before killing the child’s mother and himself Sunday.

"The apparent murder-suicide happened shortly before 1 p.m. in the 1800 block of Jordan Court, a neighborhood just south of Airport Freeway near Carl Road.

"Before the shooting, 44-year-old Luke Sy Dinh walked his child down the street and asked a neighbor to keep an eye on the 5-year-old. The neighbor quickly became concerned and called police.

"Officers arrived and, getting no answer to their repeated knocks, looked in a window to see Dinh on the floor, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

"Police also found a woman, later identified as 27-year-old Ha Thi Nguyen, shot to death inside the home.

"Dinh left a note, and the couple’s family said they were having marital problems.

"The child was taken into the custody of Child Protective Services."
