Yancy Noll had finished with work for the day and, as usual, was heading home; however, his commute would be interrupted by a chance encounter that would lead to his death.

Yancy would be shot in the driving seat of his car while sitting at a red light.

A reporter on the story would describe Yancy as a wine lover who enjoyed the outdoors and did not appear to have any enemies.

Who is Dinh Bowman?

Dinh Bowman was the killer of Yancy Noll. As a child, he would be described as a prodigy and would attend college at a very early age. In his twenties, he established a company that would look at the applications of robotics.

Dinh Bowman’s father was a Boeing engineer; his mother was originally from Vietnam.

What did Dinh Bowman do?

Dihn would be charged with the murder of Yancy Noll. His bail would be set at an incredible ten million dollars. An investigation into the fatal shooting would lead to Dinh’s arrest, and the authorities would uncover evidence that would indicate that he had shot through the passenger window of his car, killing Yancy Noll, who was in his vehicle.

Dihn would fire five times into Yancy’s car, killing him instantly.

Two people in another car would hear the shots and see a car speed through a red light immediately after.

They would try to follow the car, but it speeds away very quickly, so instead, they return to where they heard the shots, and it was there they would find Yancy dead at the wheel of his car.

Other evidence would include Dihn’s search history looking up ways to remove gunshot residue and evidence that he had changed the tires on his car in an attempt to throw an investigation off.

Dinh’s defense would state that he had been involved in a road rage incident and that after overtaking Yancy Noll on the road, Noll had thrown a wine bottle at him that would strike him on the head as he drove a convertible, and the roof was down.

His defense would go on to state that he was worried Yancy had a gun, as he had gestured to him in such a manner, which led to his actions.

However, Noll’s friends and family would not accept that this happened with the shooting victim not being aggressive in any way.
