A MAN accused of being the gangster known as 'Dinosaur', one of the most wanted men in New York, has been arrested in Hong Kong after more than three years working as a waiter.
Chu Wai-ip, 25, was accused of killing a passerby during a shoot-out between Ghost Shadows gang members at the intersection of Mulberry and Bayard streets in New York's Chinatown on July 4, 1991.
Filipino American Rhona Lentin, 26, was hit in the head by a stray bullet while she was sitting in the front seat of a car and died the next day in St Vincent's Hospital.
Police later found two other spent bullets on the streets after the shooting.
A Chinatown detective said Chu was interviewed after the incident but released without charge after conflicting statements from rival gang members.
'We didn't have enough evidence [to arrest him] until a year later,' the detective said.
