Chinese scientist Dr. Bin Liu was found shot dead in his home in the town of Ross Township, near Pittsburgh. Bullets hit the head, neck and limbs; University of Pittsburgh researcher wounded died on the spot. Bin Liu was married, but at the time of the tragedy, the doctor’s wife was absent from the house.

Law enforcement authorities did not have to search for the shooter for a long time. The body of 46-year-old Hao Gu was found in his car, less than a mile from the scene of the murder. According to the investigation, the man committed suicide with a firearm.

Brian Colhepp, a police sergeant in Ross Township, told reporters that the men knew each other, but what kind of relationship they were in was not reported.

The killing appeared suspicious to the public after a comment from a University of Pittsburgh spokesman was published, which said that Dr. Bean was conducting important research and was “on the verge of very important discoveries about understanding the cellular mechanism of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.”

However, police later called the killing a result of a prolonged, intimate conflict. They have no evidence that Bin Liu’s death could be related to his work.

It is known that a native of China, like many of his other talented compatriots, was educated abroad. He graduated from National University of Singapore, and later worked at US academic institutions.
