Murder at Starbucks
Sounds like a fiction novel, doesn’t it? Unfortunately it is not.
The Albuquerque Northeast Heights Starbucks Coffee shop, located at 2200 Louisiana Blvd, was the site of a brutal murder on Friday. Jack Nguyen, a 19 year old turned himself into police several hours after fatally stabbing his girlfriend, Tram Le in the Starbucks parking lot.
Witnesses report that Le & Nguyen began arguing over issues of infidelity, apparently Le was being accused of having an intimate relationship with a male friend. Nguyen reportedly tried to walk away from the argument when Le threw her Iced Tea at him. Nguyen then punched Le in the face and the assault ensued.
The Albuquerque Tribune reports:
Several witnesses whose accounts are contained in the complaint said Nguyen then punched Le in the face. Several of her friends then came to her aid and started fighting with Nguyen.
Moments later, Le and a man identified as Hieu Nguyen, 19, emerged from the fight with stab wounds, according to the complaint. Le died later.
One witness “observed Hieu and Tram walk away and then saw Tram collapse,” the complaint says.
As mentioned before, Nguyen has turned himself into police and is charged with murder, aggravated assault, aggravated batter with a deadly weapon, and evidence tampering. He is being held on $1 million dollars bail.

Teri Hatcher has managed to enrage Filipino leaders across the country (no it has nothing to do with this costume) and Starbucks may be asked to ditch their sponsorship of “Desperate Housewives” as a result.
The September 30th episode of “Desperate Housewives” featured a scene where Terri Hatcher’s character reacts to the news she may be going through menopause by saying, “Can I just check those diplomas because I just want to make sure that they are not from some med school in the Philippines.”
“Oh Snap!” & “Oh No She Didn’t” are what prominent Filipino leaders are saying of the disparaging remarks. Seattle Filipino leader, Alma Kern produced a petition signed by over 100,000 filipinos demanding an apology. ABC did issue an apology but it did little to appease the community. Kern states that she will boycott ABC and it’s sponsors, including Starbucks, if they do not promise to ‘produce shows recognizing the contribution of Filipino health care professionals to the American health care system.’
