Summary

The U.S. Marshals Service has issued an international warrant for a suspect in the murder of a young Yale graduate student who was gunned down shortly after he became engaged. MIT researcher Qinxuan Pan is a suspect in the shooting death of Yale graduate student Kevin Jiang, who was found fatally shot on a New Haven street on February 6. Pan has been at large since police initially named him a person of interest in the homicide investigation. On February 27, New Haven police obtained a warrant for Pan’s arrest on suspicion of murder. Also in February, authorities said they believed Pan, who lives in Massachusetts, had traveled to Georgia, but a new report indicates investigators now believe he may have left the country.
