Six hundred miles away from Wichita, a Houston man playing video games in an online group apparently heard the gunshots that killed a Wichita man and his mother this past weekend. Ha's friends were on a group call with him when they heard the commotion. Read more on those stories via the links below. They heard at least two shots from what sounded like a handgun. SHARE COPY LINK Wichita police identified Huong Pham, 62, and Cody Ha, 23 who were found dead late Saturday on the 7500 block of East Huntington. Police said that Ha’s sister returned home late Saturday night, and found her brother and mother covered in blood and unconscious. Ha – the 23-year-old son – is listed in property records as the owner of the home, in the 7500 block of East Huntington. The son, the daughter and their mother have lived at the address for at least 10 years, court records show. "We just talk to each other late at night just to catch up with each other. It so happened that Cody was just doing something. He's (Cody) always been one of the nicest, inclusive, down to earth persons I've ever met," said Cody's friend Tommy Ong.
– Cody Ha may have been 600 miles from his friend in Texas, but the 23-year-old Kansas man sounded as though he were in the same room via the microphones and headphones the pair used to communicate while playing video games online with others Saturday. Then, around 10pm, Ashley Martinez of Houston heard at least two loud popping noises that hurt his ears, reports the Wichita Eagle. Ha didn't speak again, and when players called his phone, they heard only the unanswered ring through his microphone, Martinez says. An hour later, they heard something else: Ha's sister arriving at the Wichita home to find her brother and 62-year-old mother, Huong Pham, covered in blood, dead of gunshot wounds, per KAKE. "She was panicking," Martinez recalls. "She said she didn't feel safe." Another friend tells the Eagle that people often visited the family's home to buy what Ha described as prescription drugs. He suggests Pham sold the drugs and gave Ha a cut of the proceeds. Court records show that Pham had prior conflicts with others: In 2014, a woman accused Pham of sending two men "looking for me and my husband" over a money dispute. Pham later said the woman "hired somebody to cause me harm for $2,000 … after I talked about the money owed my family." Pham said someone broke windows of a family business and slashed the tires of her son's car around the same time. Police, who've named no suspects, are investigating whether the Saturday shooting death of a Pizza Hut delivery driver three blocks from Ha and Pham's home is related, per the Washington Post.
