A week after his marriage engagement, a 26-year-old Yale forestry graduate student was shot to death Saturday night in the Goatville section of the East Rock neighborhood, the city’s sixth homicide of 2021.

The killing occurred at around 8:30 p.m. near the intersection of Lawrence and Nicoll streets.

Neighbors heard at least seven shots ring out. (See more below for neighbors’ accounts of what happened.)

Emergency responders arrived to find Kevin Jiang lying in the road.

They were unable to revive him.

Jiang, who attended Yale’s School of the Environment, lived in West Haven. A week ago he and his fiancee, who is a graduate student in a different Yale department, got engaged, according to her Facebook page.

He was a military veteran, a tank operator with the Army and (at the time of his death) a member of the Army National Guard, according to his LinkedIn profile.

He was found near his Prius, which had rear-ended damage. Investigators are looking into the possibility that a crash preceded his murder.

Police have leads on the possible shooter’s vehicle. More details are expected to be released at a Monday morning press conference.

This is a useless tragic loss of life and I grieve for his Mother and all those who knew and loved him.

This did not have to happen, however, in the Wild Wild West here in the United States that’s the way we solve our problems.

Yes, there will always be conflict, but it’s how we conflict that shows the level of humanity we have in our culture. And, it’s not much.

The estimate number of civilians with firearms per 100 persons is:

Germany 19.6, France, 19.6, Iraq, 19.6, Canada 34.7

AND THE UNITED STATES 120.5 GUNS PER EVERY 100 PERSONS.

Since the invasion and insurrection of January 6th, a record number of guns have been sold.

I feel sorry for the children in the United States to have to grow up in a war torn society like ours.
