Kenny Bee Yang

On June 2, 2026, law enforcement received a 911 call from an unknown caller saying “Please help me!” Dispatchers could hear a female and child crying. The caller’s primary language was not English but with the assistance of translation, dispatchers learned there was a domestic abuse situation involving the caller’s husband, who was later identified as the Defendant herein, KENNY BEE YANG [DOB REDACTED]. As officers arrived in the neighborhood, in the City of Blaine, Anoka County, they observed a vehicle driven by a male matching the Defendant's description appearing to be leaving the area.

The Defendant was stopped and detained. The Defendant informed officers that he and his wife, Victim 1, are currently separated and that she had moved out about a month prior. He indicated she came over that day for a BBQ with their children and while she was there, he saw messages from another man on her phone. While he was looking through her phone, he claimed Victim 1 attacked him. He showed officer bruises on the inside of his upper arms which the officer believed were more consistent with defensive marks someone would leave attempting to get away than what would be left by an attacker.

The Defendant later admitted to hitting Victim 1 on the on the chest and pinching her on the chest with both hands, where officers observed bruising on Victim 1. Other officers spoke with Victim 1 who reported that she had come to the residence on Sunday, May 31, for dinner. The Defendant then forced himself on her, attempting to have sex with her in front of their children. She indicated that the Defendant put his hands on her throat, and she was unable to get his hands off of her. He then pulled her pants down and she pulled them up.

The Defendant then pinched her chest and scratched her on the chest causing her to bleed. Victim 1 was ultimately able to leave the residence that day. Victim 1 returned to the residence on June 2, 2026, to drop off the parties’ joint children. When she arrived, the Defendant asked her to come inside and assured her nothing would happen. She ultimately went into the residence and once inside, the Defendant locked the door, grabbed her from behind and told her he wanted to have sex with her. He then pulled down her pants and underwear, but she was able to pull them back up.

A struggle ensued and at one point Victim 1 found herself on the ground with the Defendant on top of her. Victim 1 described the Defendant again removing her pants and trying to position her body in a way to have sex with her, but she was again able to free herself. The Defendant told Victim 1 that if she didn’t sleep with him, he wouldn’t let her go. During this time, Victim 1 attempted to leave, but the Defendant repeatedly locked the door to prevent her from exiting. As Victim 1 was attempting to leave the residence, the Defendant fought her for the key and stabbed her in the palm with the key several times, raking it across her palm.
