Kim Thien Pham booked into San Jose Main Jail on two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.

Kim Thien Pham was taken into custody at around 10 a.m., about half an hour before her out-of-state flight was scheduled to take off, according to police. Pham will be booked into San Jose Main Jail on two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.Pham is the fifth person arrested in connection with the June killing of siblings Omar Aquino, 24, and Maria Teresa Sanchez-Aquino, 27. Police are still seeking two suspects.The brother and sister were shot to death in their home on the 1900 block of Plymouth Street in the early hours of June 28 after an unknown number of the seven suspects entered the home, possibly to rob Aquino, police said.
Sanchez-Aquino's 8-year-old son was sleeping in a bedroom when officers entered the home on a welfare check sparked by reports of gunshots about 4:53 a.m. Officers found the siblings' bodies shortly after and took the boy out through the bedroom window to shield him from the sight. He's currently with family members.
"All of the details surrounding this case are unfortunate," Sgt. Detective Ken Leal, who heads the Crimes Against Persons unit, said during a press conference Wednesday. "We hope the families of these victims will get some kind of closure and justice." After a lengthy investigation involving law enforcement agencies from three counties, Mountain View detectives made four separate warrant arrests last week. Nicory Marquis Spann, 18, was arrested Thursday in Fremont during a traffic stop and Michael David Adams, 20, was arrested Friday at Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara. Both are San Jose residents. Victoria Frances Thompson, 20, of Morgan Hill, was arrested Thursday during a search warrant, and an unidentified 15-year-old girl also was arrested Thursday. Spann, Adams and the juvenile were each charged with two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy to commit murder. Thompson faces only the conspiracy charge. Police are still seeking Kenneth Ivory Thomas, 20, of Campbell and a 17-year-old girl. Thomas is wanted on two counts of murder. The two face charges of conspiracy to commit murder, and have outstanding warrants. Both are considered armed and dangerous and may have left the area.
Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney James Gibbons-Shapiro, who is handling the case, said the four suspects in custody before today have been arraigned and are being held on no-bail status. Although they're set to enter pleas Friday at 2 p.m. in Santa Clara County Superior Court, Gibbons-Shapiro said he expects the date to be continued. Prosecutors have charged the 15-year-old girl as an adult, he said.
Leal said it's extremely uncommon to have so many suspects in a murder case, and that it's likely the murder involved some type of conspiracy. Detectives have not recovered the murder weapon -- a handgun -- and are not sure who actually pulled the trigger, Leal said. But, he added, detectives are confident all seven suspects were in the area when the crime occurred and fled in multiple vehicles. He said detectives are also confident that the parties may have gotten into an argument before the shooting. Police found no evidence of drugs in the house, but believe the suspects entered with the intent to rob Aquino because the house was ransacked, Leal said. Most of the suspects knew Aquino, and some of them may have known Sanchez-Aquino because the two lived together, police believe. Detectives are also investigating whether the shooting was gang-related. Leal said he could not release any additional information because a Santa Clara County Superior Court judge has sealed almost all documents in the case. Gibbons-Shapiro said releasing too much information could jeopardize the case.
The initial 911 call on the night of the murders came at 3:54 a.m. from a wireless caller, who police suspect was Sanchez-Aquino because of the number. The call, however, went to a California Highway Patrol dispatcher in Vallejo because of the proximity of Aquino's home to Highway 101.
The CHP dispatcher attempted to transfer the call to Mountain View, but the caller was cut off seconds later. All the dispatcher was able to record was that a break-in had occurred on "Clemon" in Mountain View, a street that doesn't exist. An hour later, Mountain View police received reports of shots fired, went to the home and found the victims.
