Uc Thi Vo Obituary, Death: Woman killed in Sacramento County jewelry store robbery identified
Uc Thi Vo Obituary, Death – The woman who was fatally shot during a robbery at a Sacramento County jewelry store on Friday morning has been identified as 57-year-old Uc Thi Vo. She was killed at Kim Tin Jewelry, located in Little Vietnam Plaza on the 6800 block of Stockton Boulevard, after a group of six suspects reportedly broke into the family-owned store. The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office confirmed her identity, and it was revealed that she co-owned the shop with her husband.
Uc Thi Vo and her husband had operated the jewelry store for decades, becoming well-known and well-liked in the community. Robyn Ha, a nearby business owner, shared that she had known the couple for at least 20 years, describing them as a loving and enduring couple. Ha expressed that seeing them around was always comforting, and she admired the relationship they shared. Ha set up a small memorial at the store on Monday to honor Vo, while the shop itself remained boarded up and broken glass littered the area, a sign of the tragic event that had unfolded.
The robbery, which the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office described as happening in under a minute, involved six suspects. While law enforcement has not confirmed whether the suspects were armed with guns, each one was reportedly carrying a weapon used to break into jewelry cases. During the robbery, Vo’s husband reportedly fired a gun, though it is unclear whether this was in defense of the store or out of self-preservation. Tragically, Uc Thi Vo was shot and killed in the process.
Despite the robbery being quick, the incident has left a significant impact on the area. While there have been other crimes in the vicinity, business owners noted that such a violent crime of this magnitude was highly unusual for the neighborhood. Many are now fearful that the suspects, who remain at large, could strike again.
The future of Kim Tin Jewelry is uncertain, as it is unclear if the shop will reopen after this tragic incident. Local business owners are still grappling with the shock of what happened, and many are concerned about the safety of the area moving forward. The sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate the robbery and murder, but the suspects have not yet been apprehended.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, the community has expressed their grief over the loss of a woman who was a beloved member of the Little Vietnam Plaza. As authorities search for those responsible, the memory of Uc Thi Vo’s life and legacy continues to resonate in the neighborhood she helped build with her husband.
