(CNN)A University of Pittsburgh professor on the verge of making "very significant findings" researching Covid-19, according to the university, was shot and killed in an apparent murder-suicide over the weekend, police said.
The research assistant professor, identified as Bing Liu, was found in his townhouse Saturday with gunshot wounds to the head, neck, torso and extremities, according to the Ross Police Department.
Investigators believe an unidentified second man, who was found dead in his car, shot and killed Liu in his home before returning to his car and taking his own life.
Police believe the men knew each other, but say there is "zero indication that there was targeting due to his (Liu) being Chinese," according to Detective Sgt. Brian Kohlhepp.

Maybe 4 or 5 days ago. I was reading through Covid tweets and replies, and stumbled across a fresh faced looking researcher saying one thing so stark. It made my blood run cold when I saw it. Something about it seemed out of place. Ive searched and searched, cannot find it.
The face is striking.
I may be completely off base but its bothering me.
Wish I could find his Twitter Account to put my mind at ease.
