A Kalihi man has been sentenced to federal prison for robbing an illegal game room at gunpoint, a bad outcome for him and a win for prosecutors cracking down on gun crime.

• Chris Pham received a federal prison sentence of over nine years.
• As part of a plea deal, he admitted to using a ghost gun — an untraceable, unregistered firearm — during a 2024 robbery.
• He threatened people inside an illegal game room and stole from them.

Outlook: The case closes with sentencing; no further legal action is expected.
