"UNC professor dies after Chapel Hill mugging Posted 9:52 a.m. today Updated 41 minutes ago 410 33 Feng Liu Derick Davis II, Troy Arrington Jr. Map Marker Find News Near Me Map CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — A professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill died Thursday morning from injuries suffered during a daytime robbery and assault on West University Drive in Chapel Hill, police said. Feng Liu, 59, of Durham, was assaulted at about 1 p.m. Wednesday in a residential area near the intersection of West University Drive and Ransom Street, police said. He was a research professor in UNC's Eshelman School of Pharmacy. "The whole school has been in shock," said Russell Mumper, vice dean of the pharmacy school. "He was beloved. He was a member of a large family of highly respected scientists." Derick Davis II, 23, of Scots Pine Crossing in Durham, and Troy Arrington Jr., 27, of Johnson Street in Chapel Hill, were arrested overnight in connection with the incident. Davis is charged with misdemeanor possession of stolen goods, felony common law robbery and felony assault inflicting serious bodily injury. He was being held Thursday in the Orange County jail under a $100,000 secured bond. Arrington is charged with felony common law robbery and felony assault inflicting serious bodily injury. He was being held under a $75,000 secured bond. Chapel Hill police said more charges are pending. "It’s just shocking the way this happened and that it was so close to the university," Mumper said. "Many faculty, students and staff enjoy a walk after lunch. Our understanding is that he was doing what he’s done many days – walking around campus community – and then something happened." Liu received his undergraduate and master's degrees in pharmaceutics science at Shenyang Pharmaceutical University in China and his doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy, according to UNC's website. He has worked at UNC for 10 years in the areas of genetics and drug delivery. Mumper said Liu was conducting cancer research, leading a team of graduate students on projects funded by the National Institutes of Health. "He was a very outgoing person, very social and a highly respected scientist," Mumper said. "He was truly a scholar and a great colleague."

Relative of yours?

7/24/2014 4:05:51 PM

This happened in a nice residential neighborhood right across from capus at 1:00 in the afternoon. Jeez.

7/24/2014 4:08:41 PM

No murder charge?

7/24/2014 4:11:57 PM

OP, why does him being Chinese matter in this story?

7/24/2014 4:13:54 PM

I don't know why anyone would ever rob/mug anyone in chapel hill. More than likely they are going to be affiliated with the university, which is going to get a lot of media attention

7/24/2014 4:14:48 PM

Because shoot and Asians only care about shits that are Asian related. When I was an undergrad no Asians gives two shits about the quake in Haiti...but when the quake in Japan happens...they were all gitty like little Japanese school girls.

7/24/2014 4:19:03 PM

Hope they change the charges to murder. Poor guy.

7/24/2014 4:20:44 PM

^^ Chinese professor is usually very nice. And they don't bring guns with them. They are also lack the sense of self-defense.
I know the brother of current vice prime minister of China was killed in CA by two blacks too.
Unfortunately, he has the same family name as me. I really feel sorry for him. He seems a very nice guy.

Imagine your race is only 1% of whole US population.

True. Every 5 people, there's a Chinese.

7/24/2014 4:29:41 PM

This is why I carry.

7/24/2014 4:36:41 PM

That's why two police cars parking at the lot of library I'm currently at?

7/24/2014 4:49:36 PM

Death Penalty

The eve carson shooters got off too easy too.

7/24/2014 4:58:43 PM

Right by my office and we walk back there during the day sometimes. Nice place and lots of people walk it so pretty fucking crazy that somebody was jumped in broad daylight like that. Seen the guy at the bus stop too but did not know him.

Another reason I wish I could carry at work, but being a state employee FTL.

7/24/2014 5:12:08 PM

Give them the death penalty.

Filthy scum.

Poor prof

except if that was considered part of campus or he was walking to campus.

7/24/2014 5:16:58 PM

It is a private neighborhood adjacent to campus. Legal to carry.

But he was a professor, so he was at work taking a lunch walk, which lots of us do. So his office is a gun free zone.

7/24/2014 5:25:12 PM

RIP HFeng Liu

His work is saving patients' lives. Tragedy!

You should change your user name to something less violent in his honor.

Details released. He got hit by a rock and blood came out of his nose and ears.

Quote :

"The caller said, “There is an individual laying on the street at Ransom and West University.” “At where?” the dispatcher asked. “Ransom and West University. Right near the intersection here,” the caller said. “And he’s just laying in the street?” the dispatcher asked incredulously. “He’s kind of laying to the side, breathing hard. And he’s breathing and there were two gentlemen here when I pulled around the corner and there are couple of other people hanging out here now,” the caller said. The caller went on to say, “According to a lady here who is pre-med, there is blood coming out of his nose and his mouth – and his ears.” “There’s blood coming out of his nose and his ears?” the dispatcher asked. “His ears, yes ma’am.” The dispatcher asked his age, and then asked if the man was awake. “No, he’s unconscious. He’s not responding,” the caller said. “He’s unconscious?” “Yes ma’am.” “Is he breathing?” “He is breathing, yes ma’am.” “Is his breathing completely normal?” “It sounds hard but he is breathing.” The caller went on to say Liu’s breathing was shallow and that Liu was moving and trying to roll himself over. Not long after that, the fire truck started to arrive and its siren was clear in the background of the 911 call."

two gentlemen

7/25/2014 2:09:02 PM

He fought with them a bit but his kung fu is not good enough...

7/25/2014 2:30:42 PM

It's refreshing to know that today's med students can diagnose blood coming from the facial orifices.

7/25/2014 2:31:04 PM

Can shoot be banned now?

7/25/2014 2:34:11 PM

That must be a terrible scene.
^Why? I'm serious. I got robbed several times in China before. And my aunt who is a police officer found me a master and taught me some kungfu.

You still seem a little moist, shoot. How long did you train with this master.


I bet elise could kick your butt in a fight.

Pre-med. I don't give these med students too much credit, but I think they are better than this at least.

7/25/2014 3:28:30 PM

I'm 100% convinced shoot is a troll now.

7/25/2014 3:46:20 PM

Is it just me or is there lots more violent crime around UNC than there is in all of Raleigh? Seems every few weeks theres someone robbed and killed. Most we get around NCSU is some muggings with no injury.

7/25/2014 3:53:26 PM

^No shit. Supposed to be the safe and great place to raise a family, but all up and down Franklin Street you get hit up by bums and shit is constantly happening.

From WRAL:

Quote :

" Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said state habitual offender laws no longer allow prosecutors to seek lengthy sentences for people with prior convictions on the types of charges Arrington and Davis have on their records."

Well that is obviously working out well.

this why you carry a fucking gun you pussies.

7/26/2014 9:21:09 AM

It's weird to me how it's simultaneously so hard and so easy to die.

We're not fragile, but we are.
