Amy Wong, the owner of Coast Asian Bistro & Bar in McAllen, Texas, was tragically passed away in what appears to be a murder-suicide. Her husband, Michael Wong, was also injured during the incident and is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital.
Amy Wong Died: The Incident
The unfortunate event took place around 12:42 p.m. when authorities received a distressing call from COAST Asian Bistro and Bar, situated in the 7100 block of N 10th Street. The initial caller reported hearing a gunshot, prompting an immediate police response. A second caller confirmed the deaths of a male and a female. Upon arrival, authorities discovered a female victim, identified as Amy Wong, who had succumbed to gunshot wounds in the business’s office area. Simultaneously, a male victim, later revealed to be Michael Wong, was found injured outside the company’s premises.
Michael Wong was promptly transported to a nearby hospital for emergency care, but sadly, Amy Wong had already lost her life. The alleged perpetrator, discovered near the scene, had inflicted a fatal wound upon himself using a pistol found next to his lifeless body. The investigation revealed that after a heated verbal exchange with Amy, the suspect had shot her, proceeded outside, shot Michael Wong, and ultimately turned the gun on himself.
Relationship Dynamics:
Authorities disclosed that the male and female victims were potentially a married couple and were associated with the business. However, the nature of the relationship between the suspect and the victim—whether personal or professional—remains uncertain. The investigation is still ongoing as law enforcement works to piece together the motives and circumstances surrounding this tragic incident.
