A Cambodian national, Savin Seng, also known as “Two-Face,” has been charged with unlawful possession of a weapon after the fatal shooting of a woman in Victoria, Texas. U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei announced the charges following Seng’s arrest and federal detention. A hearing is scheduled for October 10.
Authorities allege that Seng, who admitted to being a gang member, was involved in a shooting on October 3 at a residence in Telferner, near Victoria. Law enforcement found a woman dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators claim that Seng left his cell phone at the scene. Images on the device allegedly show Seng holding a Glock pistol with an extended magazine, and witnesses identified him as the suspect.
Court records indicate that Seng had an outstanding arrest warrant from 2022 for another homicide in Los Angeles, California. He was reportedly located less than a mile from the Victoria crime scene and taken into custody while carrying a loaded Glock 17 pistol and an extended magazine.
According to court documents, Seng entered the United States illegally as a child and has never held legal immigration status. He was ordered removed as an aggravated felon in April 2016 but remained in the country. Records also show he has been detained previously in California, Georgia, and Louisiana. The complaint alleges that Seng possessed multiple firearms while residing illegally in the United States.
“The presence of armed, illegal-alien gang members in our midst is a threat to public safety,” said U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei. “The Southern District of Texas is determined to remove each and every one of them from our streets.”
If convicted, Seng could face up to ten years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
The investigation is being conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement – Homeland Security Investigations with support from the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office and Los Angeles Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Patti Hubert Booth is prosecuting the case.
This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America, which coordinates resources across federal agencies to address illegal immigration, organized crime groups, and violent offenders through initiatives such as Project Safe Neighborhoods and Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces.
