[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) graduate student has been identified as a suspect in the shooting death of a Yale University graduate student that occurred earlier this month in Connecticut.


According to foreign media on the 28th, the New Haven Police Department in Connecticut obtained an arrest warrant for Kingxuan Pan, a graduate student researching artificial intelligence (AI) at MIT, on charges of murder.


Pan is accused of shooting and killing Yale graduate student Kevin Jang, who was driving a car in New Haven on the 6th, as well as charges of vehicle theft and possession of a stolen vehicle. Jang was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds about 1.6 km from Yale’s main campus.


Jang was enrolled in the master’s program at Yale’s School of the Environment and was tragically killed just one week after getting engaged to his girlfriend, Zion Perry, who graduated from MIT last year.



The New Haven Police have identified Pan as the prime suspect and have been investigating and tracking his whereabouts. Pan is still at large. He is reported to have been near the crime scene when Jang was killed.
