$30K reward offered in hunt for man accused in 1990 slayings

-

B2ST21 $3 $uthorities are offering a reward of up to $30,000 for informatio­n leading to the arrest of a man accused in the e ecution-style killings of five men at a social club in Boston’s Chinatown neighborho­od 30 years ago, officials said Tuesday.

Hung Tien 3ham, now 60, and two others are accused of shooting si men at close-range while they played cards on -an. 12, 1 0. 2ne man survived. 3ham’s alleged accomplice­s are serving life sentences after being arrested in China and returned to the U.S., but 3ham has never been found.

-oseph Bonavolont­a, special agent in charge of the Boston FBI office, urged anyone who knows anything about 3ham’s whereabout­s to come forward, saying no amount of informatio­n is too small or irrelevant.

“:e will not rest until Hung Tien 3ham is located, arrested and brought to justice,” Bonavolont­a said.

3ham, a 9ietnamese national of Chinese descent, was last seen in Bangkok, Thailand, in the mid1 0s. The FBI says he was known to be a “big spender who liked flashy cars and cognac.”

The FBI has released crime scene photos, an age-progressed photo of 3ham, and are launching an internatio­nal publicity campaign in a renewed effort to track him down.

$uthorities have never establishe­d a motive in what Bonavolont­a called “one of the bloodiest massacres in Boston history.” 3ham is also wanted by Boston police for another killing that happened four days before the social club slayings, Bonavolont­a said.
