A San Jose mother has died after being shot, along with her husband, by the couple’s son in an alleged plot to collect an inheritance, authorities said Tuesday.

Kim Lan Ly died Aug. 10 in a San Jose hospital where she was being treated for a gunshot wound to the face, according to the San Jose Police Department. Ly was shot in the grisly May 20 attack at the family’s residence in a mobile home park on Senter Road.

In the same attack, her husband, 70-year-old Thao Quoc Luu, was killed by a gunshot wound to his chest, police said.

Two days after the shootings, police arrested the couple’s son, 24-year-old Duong Luu, and his roommate and companion, Madison Muong, 25, on suspicion of murder.

Officers had been summoned to the Spanish Cove Mobile Home Park and found the mother lying on the living room sofa and the father’s body in a rear bedroom.

Thao Quoc Luu worked as a Tai chi instructor at the local Vietnamese American Community Center.
