Los Angeles Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Jianquan Bo, 66, is charged with the murder of 60-year-old Shukur Aikebaer following a kidnapping and shooting incident in Chino Hills, with the charge enhanced due to the murder occurring during a kidnapping.
- Bo and his brother Zhengfeng allegedly kidnapped Aikebaer, shot him, and put him in the trunk of their car before a high-speed chase; Zhengfeng was killed by deputies after shooting the victim during a traffic stop.
- Authorities say Bo participated in the plan and knew of the plot, but was not charged in connection with his brother’s death since Zhengfeng was the one who shot Aikebaer.
- Investigators are exploring a possible financial motive linked to a sour business relationship between the brothers and Aikebaer, who were involved in a legal dispute over a $20-million apartment complex.
- Family and legal representatives indicate the men had a prior working relationship with no known adversarial issues, but recent developments in their business dealings may have triggered the violent confrontation.
