A murder suspect in the United States was arrested in Hanoi

Mica David Bass, 58, was wanted by U.S. authorities for murder. He fled to Vietnam and was captured just a day later by the police.



On March 28, the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Public Security announced that it had coordinated with relevant units to hand over Mica David Bass to the U.S. for further legal action.

Previously, on March 19, the Immigration Department received information that Mica David Bass had entered Vietnam. The suspect was a dangerous criminal being pursued by U.S. law enforcement for murder.

The Immigration Department immediately assigned its officers to investigate and locate the suspect. Thousands of incoming passengers were reviewed through surveillance cameras, and they eventually discovered that the suspect had moved into the city center. Meanwhile, another team identified a potential hotel address in Hoan Kiem District where the suspect might be staying.

At 11:45 p.m. on the same day, officers saw a man resembling Mica David Bass dining at a restaurant in central Hoan Kiem District. He later moved to a hotel in Hang Bac Ward. The officers secretly monitored his movements throughout the night, waiting for the right moment to arrest him. "The police couldn’t make an immediate arrest because the area was crowded, with many foreign tourists. Additionally, the suspect was very dangerous, having committed criminal offenses, used illegal weapons, and had a history of resistance," an official from the Immigration Department said.

On the morning of March 20, the police noticed the suspect preparing to leave and formulated a plan to apprehend him. Around 10 a.m., the operation team from the Immigration Department, along with other units, successfully arrested the suspect at the hotel.
