A professor at the University of Pittsburgh who claimed to have found "very significant findings" in a COVID-19 study was killed. CNN writes about the details of his death.
Several deadly gunshot wounds killed Bing Liu. According to police, a second man, later found in a car next to the professor's house, killed him.
After the murder, he got into the car and committed suicide. The investigation suggests that the men knew each other.
