Alex Gong

Alex Gong

Alexander "F-14" James Gong (October 14, 1970–August 1, 2003) was a Chinese-American kickboxer who was a world champion of ISKA World Muay Thai, Junior middleweight class.

Alex won his world title in 1999. He defended his title on August 5, 2000. Gong also held a 2-0-0 record in K-1 including a win over Duane Ludwig.

In 2003, at the age of 32, Gong died. After a hit and run driver crashed into Gong's parked car in the Fairtex parking lot in San Francisco, Gong pursued the suspect on foot. Gong caught up and confronted the suspect, who was still in his car at a nearby intersection. Witnesses say the suspect then shot Gong at point blank and fled in his vehicle. Gong was pronounced dead at the scene.

On August 3,2003, a man named as a "person of interest" in the Alex Gong murder was confronted at a hotel, and after a lengthy standoff with police, shot himself in the head. No one has officially been charged in the murder to this day.
