An American comedian and activist was abducted and fatally stabbed over a dozen times by a group of men after going on a date with a woman he met online.
Tou Ger Xiong, 50, an Asian-American living in Minnesota was on vacation in Colombia when his heartbreaking demise occurred.
Xiong arrived in Medellín on Nov. 29 with the plan to spend the holiday season with family, before he came into contact with a woman he met on social media.
He had planned to meet the mystery woman on Dec. 10 but was attacked and kidnapped by a group of men.
At around 7 p.m. local time, the comedian had called a friend in Colombia saying the men demanded $2,000 (8 million Colombian Pesos) in cash for his release, according to local newspaper El Colombiano.
Xiong also told his friend, who filed the police report, that he was being “held at gunpoint,” according to KSTP.
