Theo Pham, a 27-year-old Asian man, was killed on April 28, 2000, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during a shooting spree that targeted multiple victims over about two hours. Pham was one of five people killed immediately in what authorities described as a racially motivated attack carried out by Richard Baumhammers.

Baumhammers, then 27, had a documented history of mental health treatment and had voluntarily admitted himself to psychiatric wards on multiple occasions before the shootings. The rampage and its motivations drew widespread attention and prompted discussion about the intersection of hate crimes and mental health.

Theo Pham’s death is part of a case that remains a stark reminder of the human cost of racially motivated violence. If anyone knew Theo or has information about his life and where he spent time in Pittsburgh, please share what you can.
