The person of interest was described as “a male in his 20s of Asian descent” and “pictured in a black long-sleeve button-up shirt and black pants.” Police have not speculated on the pair’s relationship.
“It was clear that this was not a random act of violence and Menghan somehow knew the person of interest, evident by bringing that person into her apartment”, Modica stated.
LA police are frantically searching for a man described as ‘Asian’ and pictured in a ‘black long-sleeve button-up shirt and black pants’.
Menghan Zhuang, who also went by the pseudonym Emily King, was found battered with “several injuries to her upper body” inside her two-bedroom apartment, close to the CalArts campus where she was a sophomore, on February 4.
Investigators have revealed that they are now searching for a man who went to Zhuang’s apartment the night before her body was discovered.
