Tremain Hall was 15 when he was killed during a mass shooting inside the Sunrise Multiplex in Valley Stream, New York, on Christmas night 1990. Hall was attending a screening of The Godfather Part III when an argument between two groups of young men escalated into gunfire; more than two dozen shots were reported and three other moviegoers were injured. Reports identify 17-year-old Lawrence Bartley as the person who fired the fatal shot. Bartley was arrested two days after the shooting and later convicted of second-degree murder and other charges, receiving a sentence of 27 years to life.

The shooting prompted the theater to install metal detectors. The family of Tremain Hall has said the loss cannot be undone.
