Update #1, 07/12/2017: On Tuesday, July 11, the lead investigator received a tip that claimed that Nguyen was not using his real name when he was booked into the Gwinnett County Jail.  After confirming his true identity through fingerprints at the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office, it was discovered that Nguyen was using a family member’s identity.  Nguyen’s true name is Hien M.
