Gang Member Charged After Fatal California Police Chase

Timothy Bradford Cole II, identified as a documented white supremacist gang member, has been charged with murder and several felonies following a high-speed police chase in Fountain Valley, California. The chase resulted in a violent crash that killed Vietnamese tourist Hong Ngoc Nguyen and injured two others. The incident began when Cole allegedly set a fire at his sister's fiancé's home in retaliation for losing custody of his children. When approached by police, Cole attempted to flee, leading to the fatal accident where he ran a red light and crashed into a BMW. Cole, with a criminal history including six prior strikes, faces a possible life sentence if convicted. The Orange County District Attorney expressed deep regret over the tragic turn of events during Nguyen's visit to the U.S.
