@@dwestecott12 Firstly, sorry to the Hmong community. As Ryan mentioned there is a community in Saint Paul, MN I think of Hmong people. They are a specific group of people or a community whose descendants are from China. Well, a specific region in China. And very small group of them. They tend to be travellers in specific regions in China. Have a different culture similar to Inuit people or Ainu. So either they make their own clothes have farms etc. But not in America, I think. I don't know much about them there. But according to Wikipedia, here is a better explanation. And I cannot link it here. And not all of it is here. Well after this sentence -> "The Hmong people (RPA: Hmoob, Nyiakeng Puachue: 𞄀𞄩𞄰, Pahawh Hmong: 𖬌𖬣𖬵, IPA: [m̥ɔ̃́]) are an indigenous group in East and Southeast Asia. In China, the Hmong people are classified as a sub-group of the Miao people. The modern Hmong reside mainly in Southwest China (Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Guangxi) and countries in Southeast Asia such as Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. There is also a large diasporic community in the United States of more than 300,000. The Hmong diaspora has smaller communities in Australia and South America (specifically Argentina and French Guiana, the latter being an overseas region of France)."

This guy's brother (Eh Xiong) was a former co-worker working with me in Minnesota during 2006. Eh told the news that he was going to send the $2K and did not hear back from his brother. So the following day nobody picked up the cell phone when Eh called. Anyway, Tou Ger went through a rough divorce in 2019. Bad divorces can push you to do things out of the ordinary for personal fulfillment.
Yes, bad divorces can lead someone to do “unusual things,” but also heard this is his 4th divorce. Anyhow, Tou Ger didn’t deserve to die in this manner. Condolences to his friends and family.
Much appreciated for acknowledging and recognizing the Minority Communities like the Hmong communities to the public light of who they are and where they come from and have experienced in life. JKNews fam is the part of the platform that creates bridges to close the gap so everybody can learn about each other. Good job! keep it up!
thanks for covering this story. Like other people has commented but thanks for showing love and getting this out there to the world for the hmong community
Thanks for covering Touger. Got to work with him a few times in my life. He was truly a voice for our Hmong/SE Asian community. He used his voice as a comedian and rapper to entertain and make change for his community. RIP Touger
@@underdogtv2855 he wasn’t visiting there specifically to find a wife. He’d been seeing a woman there for months. The media makes it sound like he was clueless. He was a smart man who trusted easily. Because of that he is no longer with us. Those people have no idea how loved he was and all of the good he did.
@@lisahillmer7527 Well, him dying with stab wounds says a lot how clueless he was, particularly in sinister Colombia! And i tell you, Most Americans whether Asian, African, White or Latin acts too special with too much priveleges in their blood and of course, stupid.
@@lisahillmer7527 he was clueless. He trusted easily because of his leftist mindset. He was warned about the dangers of going to places like Colombia. He posted on his Facebook how these warnings were "ironic" because the US had mass shootings, and "perhaps we should be more scared of the crap in our own country". Given his "activism" and support for movements like BLM, it became obvious to me that he only acknowledged crime and racism when it is coming from a White source and origin. Others, he gave it a pass and excuses (a Hmong hunter can kill in self defense but not police officers). And he was doing everything he was warned not to, like drawing attention to himself. And he saw nothing wrong with hooking up with a woman nearly 30 years his junior. This woman earned his trust and then laid the trap.
Had the chance to hang out with him on multiple occasions. He was full of energy, and it was non-stop laughter. He was the life of the party wherever he went. Big lost for the community.
He was the first Hmong comedian in America and an activist for our Hmong community. Unfortunately, his marriage ended after seven years, which led him to look for companionship elsewhere during his travels around the world. I am not blaming his decision, but it's an unfortunate event that ultimately led to his death due to unscrupulous people. I hope there will be justice for him.
Shit that's wild. I remember one of my Hmong teachers showing the class one of his comedy sets to the class and we were cracking up. I think I even saw him live at a show at a Hmong New Year event. Condolences to the family and everyone affected.
As a Hmong kid in the late 90's from a super racist town, trying to fit in is all you think about. Tou Ger was the first person to show me that you can embrace being Hmong and do whatever you want to. Even be at center stage telling silly jokes in front of all these people as long as you work hard and remember where you came from. It taught me I don't have to take a backseat to anyone. He's a very important person to the Hmong community.
Hey fellow Once!. (Twice fan💖💖) It's nice he inspired your community. Sad to hear about the lose. I do remember when I was in school a hmong comedian came to my school to perform in our cafeteria. I don't know if it was him or not but that would be very devastating. I'm from Minnesota were he's from, I believe.
thank them for what? they didn't even say one positive thing about TGX. All they talked about was his death and that he "maybe" be a comedian activist. They literally dont know what the fu*k their talking about besides disrespecting his name.
Well, according to him, we have mass shootings here in the US, hence we should be more worried about being shot by a mass shooter than being kidnapped and robbed in Colombia,
Rip my good, Sir! I was down in Bogota, Colombia, back in Oct, as nice as the scenery was I kept my head on a swivel the whole time man! Trust know one! Peace out fellas!
My brother, I'll truly miss you. Our whole community will. I remember you coming to my 4th grade class to perform. Teaching the world who the hmoob were. Your line that stuck with me all these years. "Ancient hmong knife" when describing the basic tools needed to farm and survive. Your karaoke 🎤 sessions at local bars when you'd capture the crowds with your dancing and entertainment skills to ~Michael Jackson~ songs. I hope justice and karma comes fast and swift for your killer and those involved. Hmong DAY will forever be yours. Go in peace and with love.
Awesome video like always and yes it is sad that we lost one of Hmong comedian in our community. Seeing him in person his vibe, he can make you laugh and stay positive and he has the big smile when it come to events and party host and yeah RIP to TouGer Xiong and my condolences goes to his family and friends.
Thanks for covering this story and bringing awareness to those that travel abroad. If you do plan on traveling, be on your best behavior, respect the locals, respect the culture, and don't make yourself a target. Meaning don't go and be all flashy, loud, and acting all rich because that will only attract bad people. Like you guys said at the end, we cannot afford to lose anymore Hmong's, being there is so little of us. TouGer was definitely a big lost for our community and we all hope justices is served, hopefully they capture his killers.
Im half colombian when i go visit my grandparents they say not to worry its safe . If you keep it wholesome like can says visit the landscapes eat the food museums etc you have nothing to worry about . But once you start looking for hooks up, club life and you start flaunting what you got chains , money, thats when you grab the attention of the bad colombians . Especially if you stand out as a foreigner For ex. when i speak spanish i have a mexican accent Once i stopped by a random corner market and purposely handed the cashier a big bill for a bag of chips and he handed me the wrong change . Once i called him out on it he acted embarrassed and gave me the correct amount On the other hand i would continously run in to happy nice colombians who would say they loved how i talked and where super nice and helpfull when it came to directions etc So do your homework be smart and you will enjoy it b/c it is beautifull
The internet FBI found that she has a boyfriend. Def feels like a set up 😢 it’s possible the brother did send the money, but Tou Ger never confirmed they got the money, as he possibly tried to escape… and that’s probably what led to his murder 😢 very, very unfortunate! RIP TGX
@Io-mo4ov 0 seconds ago I was in Medellin, Cataegner, and Baraquilla in 2021. Colombia 🇨🇴 is a dangerous place to visit. I am glad that I made it out alive. Be warned, you are not safe whether you know the person. Colombia 🇨🇴 and those three cities mentioned in the news are wrong. Bad places and the most tourist areas to visit.
New update: kidnappers did receive ransom over 3k. It went into the bank account of the red head girl. Red head along with 2 men and 1 minor are arrested.
I am Asian and live in Medellin. But I speak Spanish and don't showboat around poor people. Be humble and respect the people and you will be fine. Goto the bars and clubs looking for sex and drugs and get a reality check. Locals here don't like these people coming down thinking they can do what they want which is why you don't see much sympathy. This country has been through hell and back many times because of the lust for drugs in America. This country has paid a severe price because Americans can't stop their addiction to drugs. Now Mexico is taking the brunt of what Colombia went through in the 80's with Escobar. Stop coming here for sex and drugs. If that is your only reason to come then go elsewhere because the people don't want you here.
Agreed 100% bro. I lived there for a few months. Medellin is amazing if you know how to move. Speaking spanish is KEY. There's other things to do there besides have sex too lol. It's an amazing city if you are safe.
@@ihatemyjob418Colombia barely had tourist in 2015, less than 400,000 , ppl are only going because UA-camrs are promoting and profiting of Colombia poverty porn sexualized content,it's obvious look at the surge of Colombia promotion videos all looking to profit. It's doomed for the country,it can't sustain that amount of sex tourism so criminals are taking advantage
Damn! Had no idea that happened. Remember seeing him on VHS when I was a kid. Inspired to see a hmong comedian. Can't even think of another Hmong comedian! Seemed like such a good dude too
I’ve been interested in going to Colombia, but I haven’t done it for hesitance of something like this happening. RIP to him and prayers up to his family and friends
Thanks for covering this story. This happens a lot to foreigners going down there (single dudes travelling there often). A lot of pretty girls down there (was there earlier this year), and many of the girls see gringos as ATMs. It's not confirmed if the red head is actually linked but what I can say is getting too friendly with too many locals (especially when you don't know their background) females or males will get you into trouble. Dating apps are perfect hunting grounds for criminals or people with nefarious intentions and its always a risk you take when you go on the apps in Colombia- getting drugged/killed.
Pro Tip: When my uncles go to Laos/Thailand for their yearly oil change, they always dress down and act like a commoner. Tou Ger Xoing was wearing Prada in other videos and acting too flashy.
I was at restaurant when I heard someone talk about this story and say..."This is how you stay safe in Columbia and pretty much all over the world. Go for the big built shrek looking girl. It's like having your own bodyguard with benefits." 🤦♀️
lol you all set Can up on that. Thank you, Can for jumping into the seat to help out cuz of Joe's unexpected meeting. Sad that guy got taken advantage of and killed though.
Guadalajara is one of my favorite places to visit 🥰 but right when covid hit the news, I stood out even moreeeeeeeee and everyone was avoiding the hell outta me cause I’m Asian anddddd from the States (where we were known to be gross during covid lmfao)
Today is 1/21/24. Tou Ger (Too Jer) is very well known in the Hmong community. There's news surfacing that the red headed girl set him up. The red headed chick is the girl he met through social media.
You mean MRS. Minnesota. She was a biracial woman who looked white at first glance, her mother was white and her father was African American. Tou Ger here did not disclosed why they divorced, citing respecting her privacy.
I’ve been to Colombia a few times. I think whenever you travel abroad it’s always best to go with someone. Luckily my fiance is from there so she shows me the in and outs and tells me which areas to avoid. Also, don’t present yourself as a foreigner. Try to look like you’re from there if you can if you go out of the tourist areas. I don’t wear anything flashy or expensive just so I don’t bring any attention to myself.
IM SORY BUT NOOO, u guys are targets, dont present yourself as a foreigner?? excuse me, u are a foreigner, everyone in colombia, knows u are foreigner, way u guys talk n act, way u move, facial expressions. they can tell u dont belong there u guys r going for a orgasm. come on now
@@elchinoguerito8915my brother’s friend who was Latino got also murdered in Colombia in December and it looks like his Colombian girlfriend set him up.
This girl use to be my friends girlfriend and stayed at my place in el poblado before this happened. You would never think she would do this because she was so shy.
@txiki5009 I would say other than being shy. She was like most other girls in Colombia, struggling to make money for her family. I also met her sister, who stopped by for dinner. My friends attorney arranged a meeting for last Thursday at the prison, but they transferred her because the other defendant escaped that day from prison.
@txiki5009 I was shocked to find out she was involved, but at the same time these girls live in neighborhoods that have many gangs and criminals. I believe she was coerced to do this and the people involved went too far. Keep in mind that the girls are the money makers because they can work on tinder or street and the men use them for money because they have no way of earning money.

There are travel advisories in Mexico and Columbia. If you travel to countries that the USA advises against, you are risking your health and even your life. RIP to the guy but he had to know how dangerous it was to travel to Columbia.
It isn't pronounced like that. The people from Medellín pronounce it like "meh di gene". It might be a slang thing, because Spanish speakers from other countries say it wrong. But the Colombians know how to say it correctly.
One of the first things you said was the police found a woman Ran sacking his apartment. If you mean theu walked in and found her clearly they let her go. How many times do females outrun the police?
As sad as it is let this be a lesson for people out there planning to go to South America or even Southeast Asia where these activities are very common.
My thoughts are with his family, and I'm deeply saddened by this incident, especially as a Colombian who cherishes Medellin. To prevent such tragedies, I urge everyone to reconsider meeting people in places like Parque Lleras or La 70 and instead opt for more secure settings such as gyms or malls where genuine connections can be made. Don't solely depend on wealth to win a woman's affection. Emphasize the importance of qualities like personality, character, temperament, and a compassionate heart to truly connect and build meaningful relationships.
Had my airline ticket booked to Medellin Colombia for Christmas. Cancelled it because of the the tragedy. I've been going for 20 years. That should tell you something. Don't fall for the supermodels there not worth it. Everyone is desperate for money because the economy couldn't recover from covid.
Latin America is just some crazy 3rd world place, this is probably just their daily life. Safest and best place to go and have fun is still Japan or East Asia, people made the environment, you need to do a lot of homework about where you're going, and how your race and skin color will be perceived locally(white, black, yellow, brown), do all these homework should help you, and also don't do drugs, hoes, gamble, if you do, you're just increasing your risk of getting killed, especially in these 3rd world countries.

Dating apps are perfect hunting grounds for criminals or people with nefarious intentions and its always a risk you take when you go on the apps in Colombia- getting drugged/killed.
Pro Tip: When my uncles go to Laos/Thailand for their yearly oil change, they always dress down and act like a commoner.
Tou Ger Xoing was wearing Prada in other videos and acting too flashy.
Oil change? Why travel that far for an oil change?
This so tragic. My thoughts are with the Hmong community
Sadly, he will be missed. 😢
Love you guys
Appreciate this…
No way Joe just pulled an Anthony Lee and left like that.
He had to get on a business call to set up a grand opening for a Kia lot that's a laundry mat.

I'm sorry to the friends and family 😢
Lesson of the day: Fear everyone
The world lost a good person. RIP Brother Tou Ger.
This is an everyday thing guys!! I STOPPED going to Medellin or Cartagena 2 yrs ago
You guys are nuts. Subbed.
I agree with everything said in this video. Especially, with Nick said in this video. Also Nick is still funny.
He should have went to Europe or Asia it’s more safe to date women without needing those fake dating apps…
I was at restaurant when I heard someone talk about this story and say..."This is how you stay safe in Columbia and pretty much all over the world. Go for the big built shrek looking girl. It's like having your own bodyguard with benefits." 🤦♀️
That’s true though 😂
This is tou ger xiong. he was supposed to be the first hmong guy to come on the show jkn, but rip tgx!!! Go hmong boy!! Go hmong boy!!
lol you all set Can up on that. Thank you, Can for jumping into the seat to help out cuz of Joe's unexpected meeting. Sad that guy got taken advantage of and killed though.
What a sad story 😢
Guadalajara is one of my favorite places to visit 🥰 but right when covid hit the news, I stood out even moreeeeeeeee and everyone was avoiding the hell outta me cause I’m Asian anddddd from the States (where we were known to be gross during covid lmfao)
Passport bros forget these countries are not safe lol
Fr
They are safe if you follow a simple set of rules and have some street sense..
Im telling u .. colombia is not safe … when i see thouse tourists walking with a camera … im like they are just asking to get robbed
Today is 1/21/24. Tou Ger (Too Jer) is very well known in the Hmong community. There's news surfacing that the red headed girl set him up. The red headed chick is the girl he met through social media.
The assassination of JFK...the girl in a polka dot dress ? Wake up everyone
Jfk is still alive
If i remember correctly, back in middle school (2009-2013). He was married to Miss Minnesota.
asian guy who is trying to date out, went to colombia, guess what, exactly., he got whats coming
You mean MRS. Minnesota. She was a biracial woman who looked white at first glance, her mother was white and her father was African American. Tou Ger here did not disclosed why they divorced, citing respecting her privacy.
I’ve been to Colombia a few times. I think whenever you travel abroad it’s always best to go with someone. Luckily my fiance is from there so she shows me the in and outs and tells me which areas to avoid. Also, don’t present yourself as a foreigner. Try to look like you’re from there if you can if you go out of the tourist areas. I don’t wear anything flashy or expensive just so I don’t bring any attention to myself.
IM SORY BUT NOOO, u guys are targets, dont present yourself as a foreigner?? excuse me, u are a foreigner, everyone in colombia, knows u are foreigner, way u guys talk n act, way u move, facial expressions. they can tell u dont belong there
u guys r going for a orgasm. come on now
So basically look Latino. Thats gonna be hard for some Asians unfortunately
@@elchinoguerito8915 right now, latin america is very dangerous, any foreigner going down there. they will be screwed
@@elchinoguerito8915my brother’s friend who was Latino got also murdered in Colombia in December and it looks like his Colombian girlfriend set him up.
This girl use to be my friends girlfriend and stayed at my place in el poblado before this happened. You would never think she would do this because she was so shy.
Wow interesting. I have to admit that she looks like a shy person from her pictures. Besides being shy, how would you describe her?
@txiki5009 I would say other than being shy. She was like most other girls in Colombia, struggling to make money for her family. I also met her sister, who stopped by for dinner. My friends attorney arranged a meeting for last Thursday at the prison, but they transferred her because the other defendant escaped that day from prison.
@@mvaugustaf4rr Were you surprised when you heard she was involved in the murder of the comedian? Was her family very poor?
@txiki5009 I was shocked to find out she was involved, but at the same time these girls live in neighborhoods that have many gangs and criminals. I believe she was coerced to do this and the people involved went too far. Keep in mind that the girls are the money makers because they can work on tinder or street and the men use them for money because they have no way of earning money.

Fucked up. Thanks for bringing awareness to all our asian bros.
You have to do a follow up on this story. So much updates!
It’s a dangerous country
I just can't wrap my head around it... 🤔 how someone as educated as TGX could make such foolish decisions that caused his own demise. 🤯
All it takes is one wrong move. 😢
Any man can make foolish decisions when it comes to what's between a woman's legs
He paid for box , he was with prostitutes , either you're knieave or don't want to see what he was actually doing
Lust clouds judgment.
And the love of money can cause you to betray those close to you @@rockon8174
Rip family
My condolences
There are travel advisories in Mexico and Columbia. If you travel to countries that the USA advises against, you are risking your health and even your life. RIP to the guy but he had to know how dangerous it was to travel to Columbia.
China has a travel warning about racism and mass shootings daily in America. 😂
Knowing TGX…. 2K cash isn’t anything to him. This was staged and planned. He wasn’t making it out alive.
Homie died for some 🍑
Don’t get it twisted they will kill you for a bag of chips.
This is a good story for everyone to learn from.
Didnt think our hmong news would reach jk lol
It isn't pronounced like that. The people from Medellín pronounce it like "meh di gene". It might be a slang thing, because Spanish speakers from other countries say it wrong. But the Colombians know how to say it correctly.
Buzz off.
@@rockon8174 get edumicated
One of the first things you said was the police found a woman Ran sacking his apartment. If you mean theu walked in and found her clearly they let her go. How many times do females outrun the police?
Ive always said this man, Latin america is a pretty lawless place. So you better treat everyone with respect.
Based on what the family said, the ransom was sent and they still killed him.
Man this is crazy and seems to be happening more in Colombia
This city use to average 7000+ murders a year. Now it's less then in cities like Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, Philly, etc.
He did it to himself.
Being a passport bro comes with a risk.
🤣🤡💀passport losers go to red-light districts, nothing high value taking advantage of women and thinking they run shit , when they don't
Of course. These type of people needs to be smart and never let their guard down. Be careful on who you trust.
As sad as it is let this be a lesson for people out there planning to go to South America or even Southeast Asia where these activities are very common.
My thoughts are with his family, and I'm deeply saddened by this incident, especially as a Colombian who cherishes Medellin. To prevent such tragedies, I urge everyone to reconsider meeting people in places like Parque Lleras or La 70 and instead opt for more secure settings such as gyms or malls where genuine connections can be made. Don't solely depend on wealth to win a woman's affection. Emphasize the importance of qualities like personality, character, temperament, and a compassionate heart to truly connect and build meaningful relationships.
His name was spelled Tou Ger but it’s pronounced “two jer” He was awesome! Everybody in the Hmong community knew him.
Had my airline ticket booked to Medellin Colombia for Christmas. Cancelled it because of the the tragedy. I've been going for 20 years. That should tell you something. Don't fall for the supermodels there not worth it. Everyone is desperate for money because the economy couldn't recover from covid.
Sad happening worldwide
12:16 nick sticks out like a sore ear. im so funny.
this is like the 3rd asian that has been killed in columbia that i've heard of recently
Why people keep calling tou ger a comedian? Jokes was on him going over there
Im Hmong, i dont mind coming on cast lol seems life learning and exited to share thoughts
Can is wildin on this one
Latin America is just some crazy 3rd world place, this is probably just their daily life.
Safest and best place to go and have fun is still Japan or East Asia, people made the environment, you need to do a lot of homework about where you're going, and how your race and skin color will be perceived locally(white, black, yellow, brown), do all these homework should help you, and also don't do drugs, hoes, gamble, if you do, you're just increasing your risk of getting killed, especially in these 3rd world countries.
