• Naperville police and paramedics responded the next day to the couple’s North Mill Street home, and Yang was pronounced dead at a hospital.
• A DuPage County coroner’s autopsy found blunt force trauma due to assault, prompting an upgrade from aggravated domestic battery to two counts of first-degree murder.
• Wang was initially released on $85,000 bond before it was raised to $1.25 million; he has been in custody since July 8, 2020, and no sentencing date has been set.
