BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) – Police arrested the ex-wife of a California professor after he was shot and killed while on a visit to Greece, according to the victim’s family.
Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, was gunned down July 4 outside his ex-wife’s home in Athens, Greece. He was an associate professor of marketing at the University of California, Berkeley, having joined the faculty of the Haas School of Business in 2012, and was beloved by students.
“Everybody’s completely devastated,” said Zsolt Katona, another professor at Berkeley Haas as well as Jeziorski’s friend. “He not only taught the subject. He really made students wanting to learn the subject.”
Greek police told Jeziorski’s family he was shot five times by his ex-wife’s current partner as he went to visit his children.
Authorities allege the murder was orchestrated by Jeziorski’s ex-wife. The two were reportedly in the middle of a child custody battle and a financial dispute over the vacation rental company they founded.
A total of five people, including Jeziorski’s ex-wife and her current partner, were arrested in relation to the case.
Jeziorski’s family says they hope to move his remains to Poland, the country in which he was born and grew up.
