UC Berkeley professor's ex-wife, her boyfriend arrested for his murder: Reports
The ex-wife of a slain University of California, Berkeley, professor and four others have been arrested in connection with his death, according to multiple reports, citing Greek police sources. Four males, including one who is a minor, confessed to their involvement in the killing of Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, Greek police sources told CNN and ABC News. The sources said that the current boyfriend of the professor's ex-wife admitted to the murder, per CNN. Jeziorski's ex-wife is facing moral accomplice charges, the Greek police press office told CNN. Greek police announced the arrests of the five individuals in a news release on Thursday, July 17, saying three of them were accomplices and another was a local resident. Police added that the attacker approached Jeziorski and shot him in the chest and back, resulting in his fatal injury, before fleeing. Police did not name any of the suspects, including Jeziorski's ex-wife or her boyfriend, when contacted by USA TODAY on July 17. Jeziorski killed while going to visit children, brother says Jeziorski was shot and killed in Athens, Greece, on July 4 while heading to visit his two children, his brother Lukasz Jeziorski said in a statement on Facebook. Lukasz Jeziorski also commented on the recent development in a statement on July 17, in which he said five people, including his brother's ex-wife and her boyfriend, have now been arrested in connection with his brother's killing. Przemyslaw Jeziorski's ex-wife was allegedly "the orchestrator behind this heinous crime," and her boyfriend, "confessed to carrying out the shooting," Lukasz Jeziorski's statement says. Greek police said in the news release that they were able to identify the vehicle the shooter and his two accomplices were riding in during Jeziorski's murder by watching their movements before and during the killing. The two accomplices left the crime scene without the shooter, who went to the Nafplio area, police said. To avoid identification, the shooter even handed over his mobile phone and vehicle keys to his third accomplice, the department added. Przemyslaw Jeziorski death 43-year-old UC Berkeley professor killed in Greece, family says 'We want justice to be fully served' Lukasz Jeziorski said the arrests "bring us closer to justice." "Our family is heartbroken, but we are grateful to Greek police and security professionals that have identified and captured those accountable," the statement said. "We want justice to be fully served." Przemyslaw Jeziorski's two 10-year-old children are now in the care of Greek officials, Lukasz Jeziorski said. "Our primary concern is their safety and wellbeing, and helping them reconnect with their family to minimize the trauma they have already endured," the statement said. "As family members they know and trust, we ask for their privacy and respect during this difficult time as we focus on caring for these young children." Lukasz Jeziorski's statement also said his brother "loved his children and fought for them until the end." UC Berkeley professor remembered by colleagues Przemyslaw Jeziorski was an associate professor of marketing at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Jenny Chatman, dean of UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, said in a statement that she is "heartbroken" by the news of Jeziorski's death. 'While authorities are investigating what happened, our focus is on supporting our community during this difficult period," Chatman said. "My heart goes out to Przemek's family and loved ones. We will miss him.' In tributes shared by UC Berkeley, Jeziorski was remembered by colleagues, students and friends. "He was an amazing person, friend, and colleague. He was a loving father of two young children and always there if someone needed help,' said Zsolt Katona, another marketing professor at UC Berkeley. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, who was known to colleagues and students as Przemek or PJ, was a Polish native. He held three master's degrees and a doctorate, according to UC Berkeley.

Maryland man charged with threatening Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her family
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Maryland man was arrested Thursday on charges that he made threatening calls to the Georgia offices of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Seth Jason, 64, repeatedly threatened to assault and kill Greene and her family during several calls to her district offices in between October 2023 and January 2025, according to his four-count indictment. Jason also threatened Greene's staff members and their families, authorities said. Jason worked for Voice of America and made threatening calls using phone lines connected to studios and control rooms at the news agency's headquarters in Washington, according to U.S. Capitol Police. Jason, of Edgewater, Maryland, also volunteered as a reserve officer for the Anne Arundel County Police Department in Maryland. The department said in a statement that Jason had served as a volunteer since 2016. 'Anne Arundel County Reserve Officers are unarmed and have no police authority. Mr. Jason is no longer affiliated with the Anne Arundel County Police Department,' the statement said. Court records did not immediately identify a lawyer for Jason. A grand jury indicted Jason on charges of influencing a federal official by threat, influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure and anonymous telecommunications harassment. Jason was expected to make his initial court appearance in Washington on Thursday. 'No one should have to live their life looking over their shoulder every day and wondering if those threats are about to be fulfilled and about to come true,' acting U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said at a news conference. Pirro read aloud some of the statements that Jason is accused of making during the calls to Greene's offices. 'I am looking forward to your book signing. We are all armed and ready to take care of you,' Jason said, according to Pirro. Threats against members of Congress and other public officials have surged as the nation's political landscape has become increasingly divisive. During the news conference, Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan alluded to the June 14 shootings in Minnesota by a man charged with killing the Democratic leader in the state House and her husband after wounding another lawmaker and his wife. 'This has got to stop,' Sullivan said. 'This has changed since Minnesota. We are going to work very, very hard to hold you accountable if you make these threats.'
