San Bernardino Sheriff Identifies Victim and Suspects in Chino Hills Kidnapping Shooting

The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department announced Friday that the victim of a fatal kidnapping-shooting in Chino Hills was identified as 60-year-old Shukur Aikebaer. The suspects were named as brothers Jianquan Bo, 66, and Zhengfeng Bo, 67, the latter of whom was shot and killed by deputies during the incident.

Investigators said the brothers shared a residence in Irvine and that Aikebaer and Zhengfeng Bo had a prior business relationship; records list Aikebaer as a partner and Zhengfeng Bo as president of Panshi LLC, a company founded in 2018 and registered to an Irvine office building.

According to a written statement, Aikebaer was inside his home on Wednesday night when a power outage prompted him to step outside. At that moment, the two men allegedly shot him once and forced him into the trunk of a car. Deputies responding to the scene observed a Nissan with Oregon plates fleeing the area and pursued the vehicle for about a mile. The chase ended on Wandering Ridge Drive, where deputies ordered the driver and a passenger out of the car.

"The passenger did comply," sheriff’s spokesperson Gloria Orejel said. "However, the driver exited the vehicle, approached the trunk of the suspect vehicle and fired a shot into the victim that was inside the trunk."

Deputies returned fire, striking the driver, and attempted lifesaving measures on both the driver and Aikebaer, but both were pronounced dead at the scene. Jianquan Bo was unharmed, taken into custody and booked on suspicion of murder and kidnapping. Authorities are also investigating the cause of the power outage.

Family members and acquaintances described Aikebaer as a longtime resident of the local Uyghur community, an immigrant from China who had been involved in various business ventures, including real-estate flipping and a fast-food restaurant. A GoFundMe campaign was launched to assist his family with funeral and living expenses.
