The murder of William Ho in Chinatown

KPIX-TV news footage from August 17 1973 with reporter Ed Arnow featuring views from the Chinatown alley in San Francisco where William Ho - who were are told associated with "street gangs" - was ambushed at 2:30am and shot to death. Also includes scenes from an interview with Lieutenant Charles Ellis of SFPD Homicide, who states: "I feel the department has done just about all it can do" but he admits this doesn't seem to have much impact on the murders of Chinese American youths in Chinatown. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.
