Exactly 30 years ago, Hung Tien Pham walked into an illegal gambling den located on Tyler Street in Boston.
Called a “rising star” among Asian organized crime, according to U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling, Pham, along with two others, allegedly shot six men “execution style” in the head as they were playing cards, the FBI said. Five of the men died, but the one who survived identified the three alleged shooters – Pham, Nam The Tham, and Siny Van Tran.
Since Jan. 12, 1991, Tham and Tran were found and arrested in China. They were brought back to the United States in 2001, and in 2005, they were convicted of murder in Suffolk County Superior Court. They’re currently serving five consecutive life sentences for their crimes, the FBI said.
