Greek authorities said they’re investigating the deadly shooting of a University of California, Berkeley, professor as a murder after he was gunned down in Athens while visiting his children amid a custody dispute.
Local police said a masked gunman walked right up to Przemyslaw Jeziorski, who taught economics and marketing at Berkeley, and shot him several times July 4 near his ex-wife’s home.
Investigators said Mr. Jeziorski, 43, died at the scene. No suspect has been arrested in the case.
A Greek police official told CNN that the slaying “bore the signs of a contract killing,” so potential links to organized crime are being investigated. Authorities said close family members are also being looked into as part of the murder probe.
Relatives said Mr. Jeziorski, who was a Polish native, was in Greece to attend a child custody hearing. He had gone to court the day before he was killed.
