He drove the two in his 2006 Hummer HU2 while another sober driver followed the group in Vang’s 2016 Toyota RAV4. After he pulled up to the residence, Vang asked the man if he would marry her, according to his account to law enforcement. He declined, got out of the vehicle and told her to do the same.
