Three suspects are in custody and Denver police are seeking two additional suspects after a stray bullet struck and killed a mother unloading a car with her children on July 15.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Denver Police Department held a press conference to announce that it had arrested three suspects and identified a fourth in connection with the death of Ma Kaing, 47.In addition, police said they are seeking a fourth suspect, who remains at-large. That person was identified as Swa Bay, 19. Anybody with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.

On July 15 around 11:30 p.m., she and her children arrived home to the Hidden Brook Apartments along the 1300 block of Xenia Street after a late night at the restaurant. Around the same time, multiple suspects were exchanging gunfire in New Freedom Park, just south of the apartments, Cmdr. Clark said.

In the days after the shooting, investigators spoke with family, neighbors, and witnesses, and collected evidence, which led to officers identifying the four suspects. They also recovered four firearms as of Tuesday afternoon."They may or may not have realized what was in their backdrop and they just indiscriminately fired over three dozen rounds in that direction," Clark said."It's a residential area. It's extremely tragic and senseless that the result is the death of Ma.

"I looked around and I saw my mother's body and I saw that she had a wound to the head. That's when I started yelling for help — I pressed down on the wound too," Oo said."And then they told her, 'This is the wrong county,'" Oo said.
