2012 Ingleside, San Francisco homicide, mass murder site in Ingleside, San Francisco, United States

The 2012 Ingleside, San Francisco homicide, also known as the Lei family murders, refers to the killing of five members of a Chinese immigrant family in their home at 16 Howth Street. The house is a two-story row house with a backyard, located in a residential area near City College of San Francisco.

On March 23, 2012, five bodies were discovered in the home, leading to the arrest of Binh Thai Luc two days later. In 2017, Luc was convicted of multiple counts and sentenced to life in prison without parole.

The case received extensive coverage in Chinese-language media, where it is often called the Lei family quintuple slayings. In the neighborhood, the event is remembered quietly, and the house itself shows no outward signs of the tragedy.

The house is a private residence and not open to the public, so visitors should respect the privacy of current occupants. The surrounding neighborhood is residential, and the site can be viewed from the street, but there are no official tours or markers.

The case sparked a political debate about deportation when it was revealed that Luc, a Vietnamese immigrant, could not be deported due to a repatriation agreement. The house at 16 Howth Street has since been sold and renovated, with no memorial at the site.
