Surviving suspect in Chino Hills kidnapping-murder case charged
Key Points:
- Jianquan Bo, 66, was charged with murder in connection to the kidnapping and killing of Shukur Aikebaer, a Chino Hills man and his business associate, following a violent incident involving his brother Zhengfeng Bo.
- Zhengfeng Bo, 67, the primary suspect and brother of Jianquan, was killed by deputies after a short car chase and shooting; Jianquan was a passenger in the vehicle and allegedly aware of the plan leading to Aikebaer's death.
- The killing occurred during a kidnapping, with authorities filing a special circumstance allegation that could make the case eligible for the death penalty; investigators are probing whether the victim's power outage was a deliberate ruse.
- Surveillance footage showed Jianquan surrendering while Zhengfeng shot Aikebaer inside the car trunk before deputies intervened; both Zhengfeng and Aikebaer were pronounced dead at the scene.
