On Saturday morning at approximately 1:40 a.m., a fight involving 8-10 subjects broke out in front of Shiro Lounge (Giammona Drive and Main Street). This location is across the street from the Police Department but no officers were available to respond due to a fight at Vice that all available officers were occupied with. Several minutes after the fight officers responded and found one victim in front of Shiro with head injuries. This victim was transported to the hospital by ambulance. The subject listed above (DUONG) was fighting with a member of the Shiro security staff when officers arrived. He was arrested for fighting in public. Several other involved parties with minor injuries were interviewed at the scene. 4 or 5 occupants of a black Honda (see Suspect Description above) were identified as the individuals that beat the victim that was transported to the hospital. The car and the suspects fled prior to officers arriving on scene.

It was also discovered that the fight was recorded using an Iphone. The video shows the suspects punching and kicking the victim multiple times while he is on the ground. The video does not however offer a complete picture of what occurred just prior to the fight.

The Walnut Creek Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding any of the fights listed above to contact the Police Department at (925) 943-5844. Please reference a case number or location of the incident you may have information about.
