Chu, a Democrat, shares a long history with Monterey Park, a city of around 60,000 people that’s about 65% Asian. She was elected to the city council in 1988 before serving three consecutive terms as mayor.
It was at a Lunar New Year celebration where the assailant, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, opened fire at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio, a place that witnesses said he frequented as a patron.
In 2009, Chu was elected to represent California’s 28th Congressional District. Meanwhile, hundreds gathered on Monday night for a vigil at Monterey Park City Hall as investigators worked to find a motive. Mourners brought flowers and candles, sang “Amazing Grace” and listened to city leaders hoping to lift them up.
