Primary sources: Complaint for Damages (Wrongful Death), Sacramento County Superior Court, City of Elk Grove: suspect extradited, City of Elk Grove: initial shooting notice

Two daughters of Phuc Minh Vo have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in Sacramento County Superior Court against Z Town Entertainment LLC, landlord Pan Pacific (Bel Air Village), LLC, the city of Elk Grove and the state of California through the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, KCRA and CBS Sacramento reported, citing a complaint dated Nov. 2, 2026^1,2,3.

The plaintiffs, identified in the complaint as Vicky N. Vo, 8, and Ivy N. Vo, 11, sue through guardian ad litem Tram Le³. KCRA said no dollar amount is specified; CBS Sacramento said they seek economic and noneconomic damages, including funeral costs^1,2.

The complaint says Vo, 34, was shot in the head about 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 2, 2025, while seated in a booth as a paying customer at Z Town Asian Gastro Bar, 8409 Elk Grove Florin Road, and died Nov. 5 after brain-death testing^2,3. KCRA described the shooting as outside the bar; the complaint, CBS Sacramento and Elk Grove's first notice place it inside^1,2,3,5.

According to the complaint as reported by both stations, Roderick Randall argued with 18-year-old patron Kim Kha Huynh, left, retrieved a firearm from a vehicle and returned; four people were struck and Huynh and Vo were killed^1,2,3. Elk Grove's first notice said officers found three people with gunshot wounds, one adult male dead at the scene, fire personnel took two victims to a hospital, and a fourth drove himself; the shooting was inside the bar⁵.

Plaintiffs allege Z Town obtained Type 47 liquor license No. 650586 by presenting itself as a bona fide eating place that closed at midnight while operating as a nightclub until 2 a.m., allowed underage patrons, and lacked a security plan, weapons screening and age verification^1,2,3. They further allege Randall worked at the premises or was allowed to work there despite a criminal record, and that employees let him re-enter armed^2,3.

CBS Sacramento, citing the Sacramento County district attorney and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, reported Randall's 2012 attempted-murder convictions were later overturned under a change in state law and that he was released in 2023, with earlier prison terms in 2003 and 2006². Those prior cases are not independently retried in this filing.

The complaint accuses ABC of closing a complaint of service to a minor without investigation and of never inspecting the premises during the life of the license, and accuses Elk Grove of not forwarding calls for service, including a November 2024 assault, to state regulators^2,3.

Elk Grove police identified Randall, then 43, obtained a warrant for two homicide counts, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and booked him at Sacramento County Main Jail after extradition from Texas on Aug. 4, 2026, the city said⁴. KCRA reported the city had not commented on the new civil suit¹.

The complaint names Vo's parents as nominal defendants and does not name Randall as a civil defendant³. Responses from Z Town, Pan Pacific, ABC and the city in the civil case are not in the materials reviewed here.
