Yuan Yuan Lu, 28, was found dead in her car on Outlook Lane in Levittown, Pennsylvania, on February 8, 2026, the result of a fatal gunshot wound to the head. She had come to the U.S. from China in 2009. Hours earlier she had reported her 32-year-old boyfriend, Yujun Ren, to Philadelphia police for sexual assault, told officers she was ending the relationship, and said she feared Ren because he carried a handgun. Ren was not arrested that day.

License plate readers showed Ren’s vehicle following Lu’s car in the early morning hours, and the two were in phone contact between about 1 and 2 a.m. Ren later turned himself in and admitted involvement but said the gun discharged accidentally after he pulled it to scare her; investigators say evidence pointed toward a more deliberate act. Ren was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, stalking, and possession of an instrument of a crime, and he was held without bail in Bucks County Prison.

The investigation remains ongoing. Does anyone have information about Lu, her movements that night, or the area around Outlook Lane?
