The shuttered entrance of the Wah Mee Club (double doors at left), December 2007 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.

Mak and Benjamin Ng were both given life imprisonment, after Mak's initial death sentence was overturned in 1988, while Tony Ng received a 30-year sentence, serving 28 years before he was released and deported to his native Hong Kong in 2014. It remains the deadliest mass murder in the history of Washington State. Provided by Wikipedia
