Last July in Stanton, what prosecutors called “a brazen broad daylight” drive-by shooting in Stanton took the life of a 15-year-boy.
Now one of the persons accused in the homicide is back in Orange County after being extradited from Vietnam to where he fled following the incident.
QUOC-BAO VIET LE
Quoc-Bao Viet Le, 21 is being held in Orange County Jail to face charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder according to the Orange County District Attorney’s office.
He was charged in July with co-defendants Danny Huynh, 24, Troy Quang Lu, 21 and Ali Ibrahim Alsouqi, 21, who is a fugitive believed to be in Jordan.
Le faces a maximum sentence of 50 years to life imprisonment if convicted on all counts, in the murder of Samuel Vidal, 15, and the wounding of Vidal’s 13-year-old friend.
On July 5, 2025 a group met at the Garden Grove home of Alsouqi to plan a shooting targeting rival gang members.
They drove in a black sedan to the 11000 block of Court Way in Stanton where the shooting started. Vidal was struck five times by gunfire and died at the scene. The 13-year-old boy was hit in the chest but survived.
