Well, maybe.
Looks it, anyway.
Pitt researcher who was studying coronavirus was victim in Ross murder-suicide
In a statement, the Pitt department called Mr. Liu an outstanding and prolific researcher and an excellent mentor.
"Bing was on the verge of making very significant findings toward understanding the cellular mechanisms that underlie SARS-CoV-2 infection and the cellular basis of the following complications," the statement read in part.
"We will make an effort to complete what he started in an effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence.”
Ross police believe that Mr. Liu was shot by another man who then got into his car parked about 100 yards away on Charlemagne Circle and killed himself.
The second man, who police said was in his mid-40s and lived in the North Hills, has not been publicly identified.
Police declined to disclose a possible motive for the homicide, but they said nothing was stolen from the townhouse and there was no forced entry.
An autopsy found that Mr. Liu was shot multiple times, including in the head, neck and torso.
Ross police Sgt. Brian Kohlhepp said the men knew each other but did not disclose how. He declined to comment on a possible motive, but said no other suspect is at large.
Mr. Liu had the front and rear patio doors open to his townhouse at the time he was killed because the weather was nice, Sgt. Kohlhepp said. His wife was not home at the time of the shooting.
Ms. Bahar said she had spoken over the weekend to Mr. Liu's wife and confirmed that the homicide victim was him after hearing about the crime from another colleague.
Ms. Bahar said the couple had no children and that Mr. Liu was an only child. Both his parents lived in China, she said.
