In the late hours of February 18, 1983, continuing into the early morning of February 19, a mass shooting occurred at the Wah Mee social club in Seattle’s Chinatown International District. Gim Lun Wong, a 54-year-old doorman of Chinese descent, was among the patrons and employees present that night when three men entered the club to rob those inside. The assailants hogtied and robbed the occupants before shooting each victim.

Gim Lun Wong died of a gunshot wound to the head, one of thirteen people killed that night; one person survived the attack and later gave testimony identifying the perpetrators. Authorities arrested two suspects within hours; a third fled to Canada and was later located. The killings left the Chinatown community deeply scarred.

Did anyone who knew Gim Lun Wong or worked at the Wah Mee club have contact with him in February 1983 and can add detail to his last known movements?
