The shooting death of a 26-year-old Chinese American graduate student at Yale University over the weekend doesn't appear to be a random act, and he may have been targeted, police said Monday.
Kevin Jiang, a second-year master's student in the forestry program at the Yale School of the Environment, was shot and killed in his car Saturday night near his fiancée's house in New Haven, Connecticut.
Shortly after 8:30 pm Saturday, New Haven police responded to callers reporting the sound of multiple gunshots. They found Jiang lying on the road near his car, which had rear-end damage.
