## Summary

Oberlin College professor Pipo Nguyen-Duy and his wife, Thi Tran Phong, were found dead at their home in Ohio, and police say Nguyen-Duy’s son, Daniel Jones, is accused of killing them. The case has affected the nearby college community, which briefly issued a shelter-in-place order before police confirmed there was no continuing threat.

Police said both victims died from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers went to the home for a welfare check after responding to a report of a vehicle fire near the college; Jones, 31, was later arrested about a mile away. He faces six murder counts, four counts of felonious assault and one count of tampering with evidence; he had not entered a plea at his initial court appearance, and his bond was set at $3 million. Nguyen-Duy, 64, was a Vietnamese-born photography and studio art professor who came to the US as a refugee in 1975 and received a Guggenheim Fellowship.
