another chinese food delivery man killed in lawrence, ma

News of another delivery man killed last week in Lawrence, Massachusetts... Police 59-year-old Thu Nguyen was attacked and killed by someone who lured him with a fake order, then stole the food: Police: Chinese food delivery man killed for food order.

Nguyen was found unconscious at a housing project, his skull fractured. The order he was delivering was missing, but his wallet and another food order were left behind in his car. He later died at a Boston hospital.

Police said no one at the address where Nguyen was delivering ordered the food. A phone number left when the delivery was called in was later traced to a throwaway cell phone. It seems to be part of a disturbing trend of similar robberies that have occurred this year.

And they didn't even take his money! Whoever did this killed a man for an order of Chinese food. More on the victim, Thu Nguyen, here: Deliveryman dies after robbery. Anyone with information should call Lawrence police at 978-794-5900.
