Hung Tien Pham is wanted for his alleged involvement in the execution-style murders of five men at a Chinatown social club in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 12, 1991, known locally as the Boston Chinatown Massacre.  In the early morning hours, Pham, a known associate of the Ping On crime syndicate, allegedly entered an illegal gambling den located at 85A Tyler Street in Boston, Massachusetts, and allegedly shot six men, execution-style, while they were playing cards. Of the six victims, only one survived the attack.  On January 18, 1991, a local arrest warrant was issued for Pham by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, after he was indicted by a grand jury in Suffolk County Superior Court on five counts of murder, one count of armed assault with intent to murder, one count of conspiracy, and one count of carrying a firearm without a license.
