Gee Jon was the first person in the United States to be executed by lethal gas, at Nevada State Prison on February 8, 1924. He was born in China, but spent most of his life in San Fransisco's Chinatown. He was 29 when he died.

Both Hughie Sing and Gee were convicted for the murders of Tom Quong Kee in Mina, Nevada on August 27, 1921. The murder was linked to tong warfare in the American West (Gee was a member of the Hop Sing Tong ). Sing's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
