On the morning of January 12, 1991, a shooting at an after-hours social club in Boston’s Chinatown left five men dead, including 31-year-old Van Tran, and one man critically injured but surviving. The attack occurred in the club’s basement on Tyler Street during a card game when three armed men forced entry and opened fire. Van Tran was shot in the head while seated; the other deceased were Chung Wah Son, Cuong Khand Luu, David Quang Lam, and Man Cheung.

Witness testimony from the sole survivor identified three suspects as the gunmen: Siny Van Tran, Nam The Tham, and Hung Tien Pham. Warrants were issued but the suspects fled the country soon after the massacre. Siny Van Tran and Nam The Tham were later located abroad, and Hung Tien Pham remains at large. The motive was not definitively established, though investigators believed it was linked to a power struggle within the local gang scene.

Does anyone have recollections of the club, the people involved, or information that could help clarify what led to this attack?
