OAKLAND -- Oakland Police Chief LaRonne Armstrong on Friday afternoon announced that the August fatal shooting of Dr. Lili Xu was a case of murder for hire that lead to the arrest of her reported boyfriend and the gunman he paid to kill her.
He identified the two suspects arrested as 73-year-old Oakland resident Nelson Chia, reportedly Xu's longtime boyfriend, for orchestrating the slaying and 33-year-old Stockton resident Hasheem Bason, who was the alleged gunman in the fatal shooting. Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley also spoke at the press conference regarding the case.
"I echo the words of the chief; that this crime was a personal crime committed against the victim and not a crime of race or a crime of hate, other than the hatred that the defendant had against his girlfriend," O'Malley said.
