Gunner Jay Lindberg (born March 1, 1975)[1] is an American convicted murderer on death row in California. Lindberg, a Neo-Nazi, was convicted of the 1996 murder of 24-year-old Vietnamese American Thien Minh Ly in Tustin, California.[2][3]
Lindberg wanted to celebrate that evening's Super Bowl XXX victory by the Dallas Cowboys by finding "a Jap". Lindberg and an accomplice, 17-year-old Domenic Michael Christopher, encountered Ly, who was rollerblading around the tennis courts at Tustin High School. Lindberg and Christopher trapped Ly on the courts, beat him, kicked him, and then stabbed him many times. Prosecutors also charged Lindberg with a hate crime and bullying.[4] Before that, Lindberg served most of a five-year prison sentence for another first degree assault after shooting an 11-year-old boy three times with a pellet gun in 1992. One of the pellets had struck and artery and lodged in the heart of the boy.[5]
On August 29, 2008, the Supreme Court of California affirmed Lindberg's convictions and death sentence.[4]
