The victim in the terrifying Chino Hills kidnapping-execution had a disturbing working relationship with his killer, according to official records unearthed by The Post.
California state business records show that 67-year-old murder suspect Zhengfeng Bo, who allegedly shot 60-year-old Chino Hills resident Shukur Aikebaer to death in front of police after kidnapping him, was also the victim’s boss.
Both the killer and his alleged victim worked for a limited liability firm called Panshi, according to state business records. Panshi, which means “boulder” in Mandarin, was a real estate investment company based out of Zhengfeng’s Irvine home.
Zhengfeng was listed as chief executive officer of the firm in public records, while Aikebaer was identified as the firm’s secretary. Paperwork for the firm was initially filed by Aikebaer in 2018, while Zhengfeng filed updated documents in 2025 and 2026.
Aikebaer also served as a “middleman” for Zhengfeng regarding a $20 million apartment complex in Pasadena, according to ABC 7. Zhengfeng was suing the former managers of the apartment complex, claiming they were not allowing him to take control of the property.
The men had roles together in at least two LLCs, according to business records reviewed by the outlet.
Cops say Zhengfeng had an accomplice, 66-year-old Jianquan Bo, in the car with him when the shocking murder occurred. Jianquan and Zhengfeng lived at the same Irvine address where Panshi was based.
The five-bedroom, five-bath home boasts 4,456 square feet and is worth an estimated $3.3 million, according to PropertyShark. Property records indicate that Zhengfeng and another person named Weiwei Shi bought the home in 2018 for $1.8 million.
The relationship between Zhengfeng and Shi is unclear. Shi did not respond to a request for comment.
Investigators with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department say Zhengfeng and Jianquan on Wednesday night drove to the upscale Montverde Drive residence of Aikebaer.

Surveillance footage obtained by the California Post shows a silver car rolling through the quiet neighborhood with its headlights on around 10:15 p.m. before coming to a stop at the victim’s house.
Zhengfeng and Jianquan snuck up to the home and cut its power lines, according to investigators. After the electricity to the house went out, Aikebaer came outside to investigate his power box.
That’s when the Zhengfeng and Jianquan shot and kidnapped Aikebaer, investigators say, before they stuffed him into the trunk of their vehicle and quickly drove away.
A neighbor told KTLA that he jumped when he heard the commotion outside.
“I was in the garage and I heard two or three shots,” he said. “When I heard the shots, I turned around and I heard somebody yelling, ‘Help me, help me!’’
