Gunner Lindberg

Gunner Jay Lindberg is a convicted murderer on death row in California. Lindberg was convicted of the 1996 murder of 24-year-old Vietnamese American Thien Minh Ly in Tustin, California.

Lindberg wanted to celebrate that evening's Super Bowl victory by the Dallas Cowboys, which he called "America's team", 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.

On August 29, 2008, the California Supreme Court affirmed Lindberg's Conviction(s) and Death sentence.
