Chin Lee Law was 51 when he was killed on the night of February 19, 1983, during the Wah Mee massacre in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District. The Wah Mee Club, an illegal gambling house, was the scene of a robbery that escalated into mass murder when three armed men bound patrons and then opened fire. Thirteen people, including Chin Lee Law, were fatally shot; one patron, Wai Yok Chin, survived and later testified at trial.

Three suspects were identified: Kwan Fai Willie Mak, Keung Kin Benjamin Ng, and Wai Chiu Tony Ng. Mak and Benjamin Ng were arrested, tried, and convicted, receiving life sentences without parole. Tony Ng fled to Canada, was eventually returned to the United States, convicted of robbery and assault, and given a 30-year sentence; he served 28 years before being released and deported to Hong Kong.

Does anyone have memories of Chin Lee Law or information about the Wah Mee Club that could add to the record?
