ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) – Domino’s pizza delivery driver who has been missing for a week has died after an incident in St. Paul.

Disappeared during his Domino’s shift

The backstory:

Shuefaub Xiong disappeared on January 14th after showing up for work in Apple Valley and going out to make a delivery. Xiong was scheduled to deliver four pizzas, but never delivered the food or returned to work or home.

Police issued an alert later that week and family members organized search parties to look for Xiong.

On Monday, police said they discovered Xiong’s Toyota Camry in Superior, Wis. They had also learned that Xiong had been seen near the vehicle on Saturday afternoon, and later that evening he had met with an acquaintance in Roseville.

Police said they feared he was suffering from a mental health problem.
