Anaheim Slaying Suspects Extradited From Houston, Held Without Bail

Both suspects await prosecution in Orange County after arrests in Houston followed by extradition.

Overview

  • Police say Christopher Do, 35, is charged with murder and Brittany Vidal, 37, is charged as an accessory in the June killing of 65-year-old Tien Luu.
  • Investigators report Luu was dropped at Garden Grove Hospital on June 15 with severe head injuries and died later in June from blunt-force trauma.
  • Authorities allege Do returned to an Anaheim residence with a baseball bat and struck Luu multiple times before the victim was taken to the hospital.
  • Cellphone data and witness leads tied Luu’s phone to acquaintances, a blue Mercedes seen at the hospital, and ultimately to the suspects located at an apartment in Houston’s 3000 block of Summer Street.
  • Vidal was arrested Sept. 2 and Do on Sept. 3 in Houston, both were extradited to California on Sept. 9, and they are being held without bail as detectives seek additional tips at 714-321-3669 or 855-TIP-OCCS.
