Police said they still do not know the motive behind the attack and have yet to hear from the kidnappers or victim.
Pattenden said Lu was walking with a female friend around 6 p.m. at a Water Walk Drive condo when a van pulled up behind them. He said surveillance video captured suspects shocking and shocked Lu multiple times with a stun gun.
