On March 4, 1995, a robbery at the Kim Anh restaurant in New Orleans ended in the deaths of three people connected to the family-run business. Seventeen-year-old Cuong Vu, who served as an altar boy and had hoped to become a priest, was working in the restaurant alongside his 24-year-old sister Ha Vu. Both siblings were forced to their knees during the robbery and were fatally shot; Cuong was struck multiple times in the chest, back, and head.

A third victim, 25-year-old New Orleans police officer Ronald Williams, was also killed while working a security detail at the restaurant that night. One of the perpetrators was New Orleans police officer Antoinette Frank, who had previously done security work at the restaurant and entered with an accomplice, Rogers LaCaze. Frank and LaCaze were arrested, tried, and convicted for the triple murder and were sentenced to death.

What details about that night or the victims’ lives matter most to remember for the community?
