Mymy Nhan, 65, was killed on January 21, 2023 while leaving the Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park. A regular at the studio and a devoted dancer, she had gone to the Lunar New Year celebration hoping to start the year fresh after recently losing her mother. As she backed her car out in the parking lot, she was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.

Nhan had immigrated from Vietnam in the 1980s, lived in the San Gabriel Valley, and was remembered by family as warm, kind, and a central presence as an aunt, sister, daughter, and friend. She was one of eleven people in their 50s to 70s killed in the attack, most of whom were attending the Lunar New Year event.

The shooter later traveled to a second dance studio in Alhambra and was disarmed there; he subsequently died by suicide. Does anyone have memories of Mymy or information about her life in the San Gabriel Valley to share?
