Pierre Haobsh, a 27-year-old Oceanside man, was arrested early Friday morning for the fatal shooting of Chinese herbalist Dr. Henry Han, 57, his wife Jennie Yu, 29, and the couple's daughter Emily Han, 5. Haobsh was taken into custody at gunpoint at a gas station in Bonsall, a San Diego suburb east of Oceanside, where he lives with his father.
Around 12:30 a.m., authorities spotted Haobsh driving a 2013 red Lexus sedan and followed him to a gas station. At the time of his arrest, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said at a Friday afternoon briefing, Haobsh had a loaded 9mm and property authorities believe belonged to a victim.
Preliminary indications are that “financial gain” motivated the crimes, said Brown, and that Haobsh is believed to have been a “business acquaintance” of Han. Haobsh “was recently involved in a business transaction with Mr. Han," Brown said. No other details were provided.
