Yale grad student Kevin Jiang murder: Nabbed fugitive Qinxuan Pan to seek $20M bail reduction

Qinxuan Pan, accused of gunning down Yale University graduate student and U.S. Army veteran Kevin Jiang earlier this year, is expected to ask a judge in Connecticut to reduce his $20 million bail in a hearing scheduled for next month.

The document could shed light on what motivated Pan to fatally shoot Jiang in New Haven on Feb. 6. Jiang had proposed to his fiancée and fellow Yale graduate student Zion Perry just a week before he was killed – and law enforcement sources who spoke to Fox 61 remain convinced that Pan was infatuated with Perry, who previously attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology for undergrad. Photos obtained by the outlet show Pan and Perry speaking at an MIT swing dance in March 2020.
