Registered sex offender accused of killing Asian spa owner in Florida

A 69-year-old man identified as Chris Luchenburg has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Cuiyun Fu, 54, at her Asian spa in Oakland Park, Florida.

Authorities say Luchenburg, who is a registered sex offender with a listed address in Fort Lauderdale, entered Health Spa One on July 16 and fatally shot Fu inside Suite 20. Fu was found dead at the scene when deputies responded that morning.

Court records show Luchenburg had a prior conviction for sexual battery of a minor in Coral Springs and had previously faced domestic violence allegations. Investigators believe he knew Fu for several months before the shooting. He was arrested by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office two days after the incident and is being held without bond following a judge’s order for a mental health evaluation.

Luchenburg appeared before a Broward County judge for a bond hearing, where the court found probable cause to proceed with the murder charge. The case remains under investigation, and authorities have not yet disclosed further details about the events leading up to the fatal shooting.
