The Happy Dragon was the site of several shootings over the years. State Trooper Roy Hill was severely wounded in a shootout that left one suspect dead in 1996. It closed after owner Bao Xing Lin was murdered March 11, 2004. Three suspects were arrested and charged with felony murder. One was sentenced to 25 years in prison with a mandatory minimum of 21 years 3 months in August 2005. 

The building since has been  converted into a residential property.
