Qinxuan Pan, a former MIT graduate student, admitted to the 2021 murder of Yale graduate student Kevin Jiang, ending a case that shocked university communities.
Pan faces up to 35 years in prison when sentenced on April 25, after pleading guilty to the murder that occurred near Yale's campus in New Haven, Connecticut.
After a three-month manhunt, Pan was arrested in Alabama and extradited back to Connecticut. His motive for the killing remains unknown.
Kevin Jiang, the victim, was a former member of the Army National Guard and had recently gotten engaged before his death.
The case, initially investigated as a potential road rage incident, led to Pan's identification and arrest following evidence of a stolen car used in the attack.
