$5K Reward For Malden Man Wanted For Questioning In Grad Killing

MALDEN, MA — Authorities are offering a $5,000 reward to find Qinxuan Pan, a Malden man named a person of interest in the murder of a Yale graduate student. Pan may be in Georgia and should be considered "armed and dangerous," the U.S. Marshals said.

Yale student Kevin Jiang, 26, was fatally shot Saturday in the East Rock neighborhood of New Haven, CT. Police said this week Pan is wanted for questioning but is "not a suspect at this time."

Pan is described as 6 feet tall, approximately 170 pounds, with a medium complexion and short black hair. He was last seen driving with family members in Brookhaven or Duluth, GA early Thursday morning, the U.S. Marshals said.

There is a warrant for Pan's arrest on charges of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and interstate theft of a vehicle. The charges stem from the Feb. 6 shooting, but authorities have not gone as far to say he pulled the trigger.

"I'm not saying he's the shooter at this point," New Haven Police Chief Otoniel Reyes said Wednesday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-Wanted-2 (1-877-926-8332).
