Phet Gouvonvong Jr. called 911 about 10:30 p.m., and was transferred to an emergency dispatcher in Worcester.

The dispatcher asked if he was on Grafton Street, and he said that he was. He also said he had an AR rifle.

Mother of Phet Gouvonvong, man killed by Worcester police, has questions

WORCESTER Ann Marie Gonzalez has a lot of unanswered questions about her son’s death  and also his life.  Less than a year before her 31-year-old son, Phet Gouvonvong Jr. died in a police standoff in Worcester, he’d shown up at her door for the first time in nearly four years.  “I don’t know what happened within that 3½- to 4-year gap,” she said in a phone conversation Thursday from her home in Southbridge, recalling how she’d reported him missing years before. “Everybody was looking for him,” she said, but he didn’t call, and he didn’t write. One day, about eight months ago, she said, he just showed up at her door with his sister.
