Jing Hong Kang- a father, husband and Virginia Tech graduate from Fairfax, Virginia who was visiting California for an interview with Google, was killed during a robbery while on his trip. Kang, 45, was born in Beijing, but was educated in the states, and was just hours away from his interview at the top-tier tech company when he was gunned down by two armed men who demanded money.

Kang had traveled to Oakland Sunday for the Monday morning interview. He was with a friend, who has not been named, and the pair were programming directions to Google into a rental car's GPS at around 11:30 PM. Around that time, two perpetrators are said to have approached the vehicle. Police in Oakland say that the incident appears to be a bungled robbery:

"Through our preliminary investigation, it appears it was a robbery gone bad. We are looking for two African American suspects," said a police officer.

Neighbors in Kang's "quiet" neighborhood back home in Fairfax expressed shock and horror at learning his murder to local press outlets. Wife Wendy, with whom Kang had three sons, says the two were coming up on their 20th anniversary:

"He was the best father and the best husband and the center of our home. We all loved him."

Google released a statement about Kang's murder, expressing condolences to his family:

"We were saddened to hear the news. Our hearts go out to Jing Hong Kang's family in this difficult time."

Police in Oakland are said to be looking for suspects in the robbery turned murder, and a $20,000 reward for information in the Fairfax man's death is currently being offered.
