Chino Hills kidnapping-murder victim Shukur Aikebaer remembered as husband and father of 3

CHINO HILLS, Calif. () — Shukur Aikebaer, the man shot to death in a Chino Hills kidnapping-murder case, is being remembered as a husband and father of three girls.

New images from a GoFundMe page set up to support the victim’s family show Aikebaer surrounded by his wife and daughters. One image shows him hugging one of his daughters at her graduation.

Aikebaer, 60, lived in Chino Hills and was the sole provider for his family.

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Aikebaer was kidnapped this week by his business partner. The suspect, identified as 67-year-old Zhengfeng Bo, led deputies on a short pursuit before opening fire on Aikebaer, investigators said.

Deputies then shot and killed the suspect.

Eyewitness News has obtained business records showing both men listed as having roles together in at least two LLCs. Both companies are involved in lawsuits filed this year, including one lawsuit filed earlier this week.

Zhengfeng Bo’s attorney told Eyewitness News the controversy involves a $20 million apartment complex in Pasadena. According to the attorney, Bo is suing the former managers of the complex, whom he claims are not allowing him to take control of the property.

Bo’s attorney said that although Aikebaer’s name is not listed in either lawsuit, he described him as “a middleman,” saying he believes the victim introduced the suspect to the person with whom he had the dispute.

A passenger in the suspect’s vehicle, identified as 66-year-old Jianquan Bo, was arrested and charged.

How did the kidnapping and deadly shooting unfold?

The deadly incident unfolded on Wednesday night after the power to Aikebaer’s home went out on Monteverde Drive. When he came out to inspect his electrical panel, he was shot and kidnapped by the suspects, according to the sheriff’s department.

Investigators are looking into the possibility that the victim’s power was purposely turned off as a ruse to get him outside.

Deputies responded to a report of shots fired and a person yelling for help at the location. The deputies arrived at the scene and spotted Zhengfeng driving a Nissan Altima, then attempted a traffic stop.

Zhengfeng failed to yield, and that’s when a short chase began, authorities said. The Nissan eventually stopped on nearby Wandering Ridge Drive.

A surveillance camera at the scene captured what happened after deputies pulled over the Nissan.

In the footage, according to the sheriff’s department, Jianquan gets out of the car with their arms in the air. Zhengfeng also gets out, walks to the trunk of the vehicle, opens it, and shoots Aikebaer inside before deputies open fire.

When deputies moved in, they discovered Aikebaer inside the trunk.

Both Zhengfeng and Aikebaer were pronounced dead at the scene. Bo’s attorney told Eyewitness News that Jianquan is a relative of Zhengfeng.
