14 Year Old Accused of Murdering Parents Will Not Be Tried as an Adult

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — Charges have been filed against a 14-year-old boy accused of killing his parents in Fresno County last week.

On Tuesday, the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office announced that a petition has been filed against the teen.

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office says the boy killed his parents, Lue Yang and Se Vang, during a ‘violent’ attack at the family’s home in Miramonte.

The teen is also accused of seriously injuring his 11-year-old sister, who is expected to survive.

Under California law, the district attorney’s office says the teen will not be tried as an adult due to his age.

A detention hearing for the suspect has been scheduled for Wednesday at the Fresno County Superior Court.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help with funeral expenses for Yang and Vang.
