Ypsilanti Restaurant Pho House Targeted After Shooting of 6-Year-Old | Eater Detroit

"After social posts circulated linking the restaurant to Ryan Le-Nguyen, 29—accused of shooting a 6-year-old boy after a dispute over a bicycle—the restaurant's phones were inundated with angry calls and online attention. Calls have somewhat abated as supporters increased orders for the restaurant’s homemade Vietnamese pho. An organization called New Era Detroit posted a photo of the restaurant and urged followers to apply “pressure” ahead of the suspect’s bond hearing, prompting the owners to publicly state that Le-Nguyen is not the owner, has not worked there since 2015, is unrelated to the family, and that they do not support his actions; staff say they are unclear how the reports began. The shooting left the child with non-life-threatening injuries, and the suspect’s bail was raised amid community outcry." - Monica Williams
