SUPERIOR Court Associate Judge Wesley Bogdan has imposed a no-bail order on Rui Jun Huang who, police said, stabbed a man he was fighting with and another person who was trying to break up the fight.
One of the victims died and the other was seriously injured.
Huang, 49, was charged with murder, attempted murder, assault & battery, aggravated assault & battery, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Judge Bogdan remanded Huang to the custody of the Department of Corrections after the bail hearing and ordered him to return to court on May 18 at 10 a.m. for a preliminary hearing, and on May 23 at 9 a.m. for an arraignment.
Huang was represented by Chief Public Defender Douglas Hartig while Assistant Attorney General Heather Barcinas appeared for the government. Dennis Tse served as Huang’s interpreter.
Based on its preliminary investigation, the Department of Public Safety stated that in the early morning of May 9, a group of men was seen walking into the Paseo de Marianas after a night out.
One member of the group — victim #1 — saw an individual, later identified as Rui Jun Huang, and greeted him while continuing to walk. Huang, for his part, began talking loudly.
Victim #1 left the group and approached Huang. A brief fight ensued. The fight was immediately broken up by the group and other witnesses in the area, and the group left the scene.
Several minutes later, the group doubled back through PDM to head to a friend’s house where they ran into Huang again.
Witnesses told police that victim #1 left the group to confront Huang. Victim #2 followed to stop Huang and victim #1 from arguing.
At this point, however, Huang pulled out a knife and separately stabbed victims #1 and #2, DPS said.
A member of the group restrained Huang as the others called for police assistance.
Medics from the Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services arrived and transported both victims to the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. for further treatment.
At CHCC, one of the victims was pronounced dead, while the other was in critical condition and admitted for further care, DPS said.
Rui Jun Huang is escorted by Corrections officers after a bail hearing on Thursday morning.
