On the morning of February 19, 1983, armed assailants entered the Wah Mee gambling club in Seattle’s International District and carried out a mass robbery that became known as the Wah Mee Massacre. Victims were bound with rope, hog-tied, and then shot execution-style in the head. Among the thirteen people killed was 54-year-old Hung Fat Gee.

Investigators identified two principal suspects, Benjamin Ng and Willie Mak. Ng was taken into custody while in bed and Mak surrendered to authorities soon after; both were charged with multiple counts of homicide in connection with the killings. The atrocity prompted renewed attention to illegal gambling and private clubs in the neighborhood.

If anyone knew Hung Fat Gee, was at the Wah Mee that night, or has information about the massacre, please share what is known.
