The person questioned about the case, Qinxuan Pan, should be considered armed and dangerous, New Haven Police Chief Otoniel Reyes told a news conference.
Pan’s last known address is in Malden, Massachusetts, and he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Kevin Jiang, 26, a student at Yale School of the Environment, was shot several times and was found lying outside his car on a New Haven street Saturday night.
Police have said they are studying whether he died in a rabies incident on the road after a car accident.
Jiang, a native of Seattle, had recently promised to marry. He earned a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies from the University of Washington and was an Army veteran and a member of the Army National Guard, according to his LinkedIn page and Yale officials.
In the military, he was a tank operator and chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear officer, according to Yale.
Pan, who is wanted for a possession order of a stolen vehicle, is a person interested in Jiang’s murder, Reyes said.

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