The person wanted for questioning in the case, Qinxuan Pan, must 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 the Yale School of Environment, was shot several times and found lying outside his car on a New Haven street on Saturday night.
Police said they are investigating whether he was killed in a traffic accident.
Jiang, a Seattle native, had recently become engaged to be married. He graduated in environmental studies at the University of Washington and was an Army veteran and a member of the Army National Guard, according to his LinkedIn page and Yale employees.
In the Army, he was a tank operator and chemical, biological, radiation and nuclear officer, according to Yale.
Pan, who is wanted for a warrant for a stolen vehicle, is a person interested in Jiang’s murder, Reyes said.

“He is not a suspect at the moment,” said Reyes.
It was not possible to find a list of public phones from Pan.
Pan was last seen at a hotel in North Haven, Connecticut, and is believed to be out of state, police said.
