The Incident
On July 29, 2026, Shukur Aikebaer, 60, left his Monteverde Drive home in Chino Hills to inspect an electrical panel after a power cut. While outside, he was shot, forced into the trunk of a silver Nissan Altima, and driven away by brothers Zhengfeng Bo, 67, and Jianquan Bo, 66. Deputies responding to 911 calls located the fleeing vehicle, pursued it to Wandering Ridge Drive, and observed Jianquan Bo exit with his hands raised. Zhengfeng Bo opened the trunk and fired into it. Deputies returned fire, killing Zhengfeng Bo. Aikebaer was found dead in the trunk; both he and Zhengfeng Bo were pronounced dead at the scene.
Business Dispute Background
Public records show both men were officers of Panshi Inc., a commercial-real-estate firm in Irvine. Zhengfeng Bo was CEO; Aikebaer was CFO and secretary. They were also linked through two LLCs involved in lawsuits over a $20 million Pasadena apartment complex. Bo’s attorney said Bo is suing former managers of the complex, alleging they are blocking his control, and described Aikebaer as “a middleman” who introduced him to the disputed party.
