A Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student wanted in the killing of a Yale University student has been arrested by U.S. Marshals in Alabama after evading authorities for three months.
Qinxuan Pan, 29, was arrested in Montgomery Friday morning in connection to the death of 26-year-old Yale graduate student Kevin Jiang in New Haven, Connecticut, on Feb. 6, reports ABC News.
Pan faces murder and second-degree larceny charges in Jiang's death.
Police found Jiang dead from multiple gunshot wounds in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, near Yale University's campus. Police said Jiang was operating a vehicle at the time of the shooting but declined to say if he was inside or outside the car when he was killed. Authorities are investigating whether Jiang was targeted or if the shooting followed a road rage incident.
Jiang had recently gotten engaged and was a graduate student at the Yale School of Environment, according to the university.
Pan was initially named as a person of interest on Feb. 10, and the search for him expanded nationwide in March.
