芝加哥华埠为华裔居民谢焕星举行纪念街道命名揭牌仪式
伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市华埠将于2026年11月6日（星期五）下午2时30分，在舍麦路（Cermak Road）与普林斯顿街（Princeton Avenue）交叉口举行街道命名揭牌仪式，以华裔英雄谢焕星（Woom Sing Tse）之名设立纪念街牌，芝加哥市政府已核发相关标牌。谢焕星于2021年12月7日上午11时左右在华埠遇害，地点在23小街夹普林斯顿大道的人行道、兴氏小学对面附近。警方记录显示，他当时走在人行道上，一辆经过的银色汽车突然向其开枪，枪手随后下车再向他连开十多枪，谢焕星送医后不治身亡。谢家表示，谢焕星当年挺身阻止持刀歹徒，保护了兴氏小学操场上的学生及街上的行人，家属希望通过这次揭牌，让后人记住他在危急时刻保护他人的无私精神。谢家已邀请亲友及社区人士出席揭牌仪式，共同向这位舍己救人的华裔社区成员致敬。
揭牌仪式由第11区市议员李慧华（Nicole Lee）办公室与库克县委员会第11选区委员约翰·戴利（John P. Daley）共同参与。谢焕星生前在华埠生活四十余年，曾任厨师与餐馆业者；其女苏珊·林与子威廉·谢在仪式上表示，父亲的名字留在他生活过的社区意义重大。其遇害促使华埠居民此后推动增设监控、照明与巡逻等安全措施。

Chicago Chinatown Unveils Honorary Street Sign for Woom Sing Tse, Killed in 2021
Chicago's Chinatown held an honorary street sign unveiling on Friday, November 6, at 2:30 p.m. at Cermak Road and Princeton Avenue, naming the corner 'Honorary Woom Sing Tse Way' for Woom Sing Tse, a Chinese-American resident killed in 2021; the City of Chicago had issued the sign. Tse was fatally shot at about 11 a.m. on December 7, 2021, on the sidewalk near 23rd Place and Princeton Avenue, across from Haines Elementary School, by an assailant with no connection to him; his killer has since been sentenced.
The ceremony was joined by the office of Alderman Nicole Lee of the 11th Ward and Cook County Commissioner John P. Daley. Tse, an immigrant from China who lived in Chinatown for more than 40 years and worked as a cook and restaurant owner, was remembered by his daughter Susan Lam and son William Tse, who said having his name in the neighbourhood where he lived means a great deal. His death spurred Chinatown residents to push for security cameras, lighting and patrols in the years since.
