The Wah Mee massacre was a mass shooting that occurred during the night of February 18–19, 1983, in the Wah Mee gambling club at the Louisa Hotel in Seattle, Washington, United States. Fourteen people were bound, robbed and shot by three gunmen, 22-year-old Kwan Fai "Willie" Mak (Chinese: 麥群輝; pinyin: Mài Qúnhuī; jyutping: mak6 kwan4 fai1), 20-year old Keung Kin "Benjamin" Ng (Chinese: 伍強健; pinyin: Wǔ Qiángjiàn; jyutping: ng5 koeng4 gin6) and 25-year-old Wai Chiu "Tony" Ng (Chinese: 伍偉超; pinyin: Wǔ Wěichāo; jyutping: ng5 wai5 ciu1; no relation). Thirteen of the victims died, but 61-year-old Wai Yok Chin (Chinese: 陳蔚鈺), a former U.S. Navy sailor and Pai Gow dealer at the Wah Mee, survived to testify against the three in the separate high-profile trials held between 1983 and 1985.
