芝加哥大学通报

Student in joint Chicago Booth/Economics program was shot and killed Jan. 9

The following message was sent Jan. 10 to members of the University of Chicago community from President Robert J. Zimmer and Provost Ka Yee C. Lee:

Last night, Eric Heath and Michele Rasmussen shared with our community the heartbreaking news that a current student at the University was shot and killed.

The student was Yiran Fan, a 30-year-old PhD student in a joint program of the Booth School of Business and the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics. Yiran came from China to study in the United States, and he previously earned an MS degree from the University’s Financial Math program. He was in the 4th year of the Joint Program in Financial Economics, and was hoping to propose his dissertation later this year. His family in China has now been notified of this painful news, and University representatives are in contact to offer support as they mourn his death. The University will share more soon about Yiran’s life as well as memorial information once it is available.

We know that this shocking incident brings grief to our entire community and concern for the wellbeing and safety of others. The suspected assailant in this shooting was killed late yesterday by Evanston police. Our priorities at this time are to uphold the safety of our community, and to ensure that support is available for our colleagues and students who knew Yiran or will be otherwise affected. While these developments do not indicate an ongoing threat to our community, the University of Chicago Police Department will maintain its increased presence for the time being near the location of the shooting at 5035 S. East End Avenue.

This sudden and senseless loss of life causes us indescribable sorrow. In the days ahead we will come together as a community to mourn, and to lift up fellow members of our community in this difficult and very sad time. Please join us in wishing consolation and healing for our student’s loved ones.

A Loss Within our Student Body

The following message was sent Jan. 10 to members of the Booth community from Dean Madhav Rajan.

To the Chicago Booth community:

It is with a very heavy heart that I write to inform you that Yiran Fan, a fourth-year PhD student in the Joint Program in Financial Economics, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, January 9, 2021. As you may have read in the message from the university, Yiran was tragically shot and killed, and police report the suspected gunman has been killed.  

A longtime member of the Booth and Economics communities, Yiran is remembered as a smart and incredibly talented student, highly respected by his peers and beloved by all who knew him. He worked closely with Professor Zhiguo He and was hoping to propose his dissertation later this year. Projects that Yiran was working on include research on the interaction of bankers’ assets and liability management, and studying screening competition under flexible information acquisition.

Yiran also served as a Teaching Assistant during the Autumn Quarter, and he served as the Fama-Miller Professional Development Fellow for the 2020-21 academic year, working with current research professionals on their professional development. Before becoming a PhD student at Booth, Yiran was on staff as a research professional at the Fama-Miller Center for Research in Finance.

The entire Booth community mourns with Yiran’s family and friends. Counseling services will be provided to students, and we will follow up with details.

We also will follow up with plans to honor Yiran’s life on a future date.
