The person wanted for questioning in the case, Qinxuan Pan, should be considered armed and dangerous, New Haven police chief Otoniel Reyes said at a news conference.
Pan’s last known address is in Malden, Massachusetts, and is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Kevin Jiang, 26, a student at Yale’s School of the Environment, was shot several times and found outside his car on a New Haven street on Saturday night.
Police have said they are investigating whether he died in a road accident after a car accident.
Born in Seattle, Jiang was recently engaged to be married. He received a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from the University of Washington and was a veteran of the military and a member of the National Guard, according to his LinkedIn page and Yale officials.
In the military, he was a tank operator and a chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear officer, according to Yale.
Pan, who is wanted on a warrant for possession of a stolen vehicle, is a person interested in Jiang’s murder, Reyes said.

“He’s not a suspect right now,” said Reyes.
No public directory for Pan was found.
Pan was last seen at a hotel in North Haven, Connecticut, and is believed to be out of state, police said.
