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. Following the massacre, Pham went to New York City, New York, and boarded a flight to Hong Kong on February 1, 1991. A federal arrest warrant was issued for Pham by the United States District Court, District of Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts, on February 15, 1991, after he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
