Detectives provided the families with up-to-date information in the ongoing investigation surrounding the deaths of Wu and Qu, who were shot and killed early Wednesday morning while sitting in Qu’s vehicle on Raymond Avenue, northwest of campus.

The Los Angeles Times also reported that detectives visited the crime scene with both families.

Authorities have not made an arrest in the case. USC is offering a $125,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect or suspects.

Officer Karen Reyner said that detectives have received numerous calls since the award was announced at a press conference Friday, but no new information on the case is available to the public.

“The investigation is ongoing,” Reyner said. “[Detectives] are not leaving any stone unturned.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the LAPD’s Criminal Gang Homicide Division at (213) 485-4341 or the Detective Information Desk at the 24-hour toll-free number 877-LAPD-24-7.
