Calvin M. Fong was an 18-year-old recent graduate of Riordan High School when he was killed on September 4, 1977, in the Golden Dragon Massacre at the Golden Dragon Restaurant, 822 Washington Street, in San Francisco’s Chinatown. The shooting was part of a gang-related attack: five members of the Joe Boys entered the restaurant intending to kill leaders of the Wah Ching, but instead opened fire into a crowded room. Five innocent bystanders, including Fong, were killed and 11 others wounded.

The massacre followed a year of retaliatory attacks between the two rival Chinese youth gangs and was notable for its indiscriminate violence against civilians. Law enforcement investigated and ultimately arrested and convicted four Joe Boys members on multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Fong is remembered by friends and family as a bright, kind young man whose death deeply affected the community.
