The case, which was filed on August 25, 2010, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Southern Division, saw Tan facing multiple charges related to violent crime.
According to court documents, Tan was accused of conspiring to commit murder, as well as aiding and abetting in the attempted murder of a rival gang member. The alleged incident occurred on June 28, 2009, in the city of Los Angeles.
The case was highly publicized due to the severity of the charges and the alleged involvement of organized crime. Tan’s defense team argued that the evidence against their client was circumstantial and that the government’s case relied heavily on testimony from questionable witnesses.
