Surveillance cameras at the Bing Bing massage parlor in Oakland Park recorded the killing of Li, the Sun-Sentinel reported, citing court documents filed Thursday in Broward County Circuit Court.

On March 21, cameras recorded Li working alone at the massage parlor, sweeping the floors, according to court documents. Fought rode a bicycle to the business, walked inside and physically attacked -- and then strangled -- the woman, court documents state.

During the attack, Fought removed Li’s yellow dress -- as well as his clothing -- and dragged her by her ankles into another room. He then attempted to clean up the business, according to court documents.

Police were able to match DNA left behind by Fought and were able to arrest him, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

An autopsy revealed Li died from suffocation and blunt force trauma to her head and neck, the newspaper reported.
