In early 2023, Khoa applied to be a driver for a family of acquaintances. On the morning of April 23, Khoa drove the car owner to work in Ta Keo Ngon hamlet, Phi Thong commune, Rach Gia city (Kien Giang). When leaving, Khoa brought 7 bullets hidden in the front seat compartment of the car, with the purpose of finding a place to make lighter jewelry.

Upon arrival, Khoa parked his car in an empty lot, sat down to drink coffee, and waited for the car owner to gamble. That same evening, Rach Gia City Police caught the gambling den red-handed. They inspected the car Khoa was driving and discovered 7 bullets in a cigarette pack, so they confiscated it. The results of the examination showed that the bullets were military weapons.

Khoa was then prosecuted and detained by the Kien Giang Provincial Police Security Investigation Agency until his trial. According to the police, Khoa has a previous conviction for illegal possession of narcotics.
