Stuart Anthony Tay (December 8, 1975 – December 31, 1992), was an American teenager from Orange County, California and a student at Foothill High School. Five teenagers believed that Tay was planning to betray them in a planned theft of computer equipment, so they arranged to kill him.[1] All of the perpetrators were students at Sunny Hills High School.[2] Most of the perpetrators had planned to attend elite colleges and universities, including Ivy League schools.[1]
The perpetrators were 18-year-old Robert Chien-Nan Chan of the Sunny Hills area of Fullerton, California,[3][2][4] 16-year-old Kirn Young Kim of the Islands community of Fullerton,[2][4] 16-year-old Abraham Acosta of Buena Park, 17-year-old Mun Bong Kang of Fullerton, and 17-year-old Charles Bae Choe of Fullerton.[3][4] All five suspects were convicted or pleaded guilty.[1]
The Orange County Register referred to the crime as the "Honor Roll Murder".[3] The victim and most of the perpetrators were Asian American.[3]
The film Better Luck Tomorrow (2002) was loosely based on the murder.[5]
