Story summary

Pipo Nguyen-Duy, a 64-year-old art professor at Oberlin College in Ohio, and his wife Thi Tran Phong, 56, were found shot dead inside their home near the campus on Wednesday morning. Their son, Daniel Jones (also known as Asia Nguyen-Duy), 31, was arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence. Police believe Jones set his car on fire in the college's conservatory parking lot to draw attention away from the murders before fleeing. The suspect appeared in court on Thursday, demanding gender-neutral pronouns and wearing jail-issued pants around his ankles during arraignment; he faces a $3 million bond.
