A man wanted for murder in the death of a Yale student who was believed to be in the Atlanta area was arrested Friday in Alabama.
U.S. Marshals made the arrest of Qinxuan Pan, who is charged in Connecticut in the death of 26-year-old Kevin Jiang.
Police there believe Pan shot and killed Jiang in early February.
"The U.S. Marshals Service is pleased to announce that early this morning, the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force, in conjunction with the U.S. Marshals Middle District of Alabama and the Montgomery Police Department, arrested Fugitive Qinxuan Pan," the U.S. Marshals said in a statement.
According to the Marshals, Pan had last been seen in February driving with family members in metro Atlanta -- either in Brookhaven or Duluth. The Marshals said that family members said that Pan was carrying a black backpack and acting strange.
“I am extremely proud of the cooperation and efforts of the U.S. Marshals, the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force, and our state and local partners in apprehending Pan,” U.S. Marshal for the Middle District of Alabama Jesse Seroyer Jr. said in a statement. “Once we received information that Pan was in Montgomery, a plan was developed and executed. This is another example of hard work by federal and state partners to arrest violent fugitives.”
