Bich Cau Thi Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant and 25-year-old mother of two toddlers, was shot dead in her kitchen by Euro-American San Jose policeman Chad Marshall when he responded to a 911 call that an unsupervised toddler was roaming the street. Seconds after Marshall knocked on the door, he put a bullet through the chest of the young mother, just a few feet away from her children.
