NEW HAVEN, CT —The U.S. Marshals are expanding the manhunt nationwide for fugitive Qinxuan Pan, who is now charged with murder. New Haven police obtained an arrest warrant charging MIT graduate student Pan, 29, with the murder of Yale University student Kevin Jiang, 26, of West Haven. Pan was last seen Feb. 11 driving with family members in Brookhaven or Duluth, Georgia. According to family, Pan was carrying a black backpack and "acting strange," the US Marshal service said in a press release last month. Pan should be considered armed and dangerous, the US Marshal Service noted, adding people "should not attempt to apprehend him themselves." "Having accepted the delegation of apprehension responsibility for the fugitive, the U.S. Marshals Service for the District of Connecticut would like to commend the professionalism of the New Haven Police Department and its diligent investigation leading to felony murder charges," U.S. Marshal Lawrence J. Bobnick of the District of Connecticut said. "We are committed to working tirelessly, leveraging our nationwide resources and global reach to bring this individual to justice." The Violent Fugitive Task Force is a team of law enforcement officers led by U.S. Marshals from the District of Connecticut. The task force's objective is to seek out and arrest violent fugitives and sexual predators. Membership agencies include Hartford, New Haven, West Haven, Bridgeport, Norwalk, and Waterbury Police Departments as well as CT Parole.
