The person questioned by Qinxuan Pan in the case should be considered armed and dangerous, Otoniel Reyes, New Haven police chief, told a news conference.
Pan’s last known address is in Malden, Massachusetts, and he is graduating from 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 in New Haven Street on Saturday night.
Police said they are investigating whether he died in a road rage incident after a car accident.
Jiang, a Seattle resident, recently got engaged to marry. He earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from the University of Washington and was a veteran of the military and a member of the military, according to his LinkedIn page and Yale officials.
In the military, according to Yale, he was a tank operator and a chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear officer.
Pan, who is wanted on a warrant for possession of a stolen vehicle, is a person involved in Jiang’s murder, Reyes said.
