Chai Vang, Convicted Killer, Dies at 57

Chai Vang, the Hmong immigrant convicted of killing six hunters in a 2004 standoff on private Wisconsin land, has died at 57 while serving a life sentence. The shooting erupted after he claimed to be lost and targeted with racial slurs — though hunters insist they never fired first. Vang, a father of six, was sentenced to life in 2005 following a jury’s guilty verdict on six counts of murder and three of attempted murder. His death closes a deeply painful chapter for victims’ families and the community still grappling with the tragedy. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
