Allen Leung, 56, a prominent Chinatown leader known as the dragon head of the Hop Sing Tong and a member of the Chinese Freemasons, was shot and killed on February 27, 2006. The killing occurred inside his import-export business, Wonkow International Enterprises on Jackson Street, when a masked gunman entered, demanded cash and shot Leung in front of his wife before fleeing.

Leung combined public roles — serving as a commissioner for the Taiwanese government and sitting on a local economic task force — with leadership in traditional Chinese brotherhoods. Investigators have examined leads including an alleged extortion plot and the possibility of an internal tong feud, but the community’s reported silence has complicated the probe. No arrests have been announced and a $100,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and prosecution.

Anyone who knew Leung, his business, or who has information about that day is urged to come forward.
