Nationwide manhunt now underway for MIT researcher accused of killing Yale grad student Kevin Jiang

A nationwide manhunt is now underway for Qinxuan Pan, the MIT researcher wanted for the murder of Yale grad student Kevin Jiang near campus early last month.

Last week, the New Haven Police issued an arrest warrant for Pan, 29, and on Monday evening the US Marshals said they are now searching across the country, three weeks after he was last seen in Georgia.

“We are committed to working tirelessly, leveraging our nationwide resources and global reach to bring this individual to justice,” said U.S Marshal Lawrence J. Bobnick.

Pan was last seen on Feb. 11 driving with relatives in towns just Northeast of Atlanta, carrying a black backpack and “acting strange” his family told investigators.
