Porn stars! Samurai swords! Could this be the most sordid murder case ever?
Los Angeles police are on the lookout for Stephen Hill, a porn actor accused of killing one and injuring two others while wielding a samurai sword in a Van Nuys, Calif. porn studio on Tuesday night.
Hill, 34, is alleged to have stabbed Herbert Dong, 30, a fellow porn actor, using a sword that was a prop from a film. According to the L.A. Weekly, the two are described as the “Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan” of porn.
But despite the B-movie reference, neither Hill (who performed under the name “Steve Driver”) nor Dong (who performed as “Tom”) were particularly famous. As the AP points out in one buzz-killing line in their story: “The victims were not well-known porn stars.” According to L.A. Weekly, Hill recently starred in a film dubbed the Tea Bagging Party, a porn send-up to Tea Party protests that includes Ronald Reagan masks. (Titillating!)
Los Angeles police say Hill fled in an SUV after the attack and has not been seen since.
