　　昨天（JULY 23）， 美国北卡华裔教授刘峰博士午餐之后在校区散步，1点钟左右，突遭两黑人青年Derick Davis 和Troy Arrington抢劫殴打致头部重伤。经医院连夜抢救无效死亡。

　　刘峰博士1982年毕业于沈阳药科大学。1996年在美国匹兹堡大学获得博士学位，专门从事基因治疗等药物传递系统的教学和科研工作，2005年刘峰博士开始在美国北卡罗来纳大学药学院任教。在学术上颇有建树。可惜光天化日之下无故被袭击，死于歹徒之手。

　　刘博士家人，同学和亲朋好友从他入院抢救开始就希望他能挺过去，可叹伤势过重医生无力回天。

　　这真是“天有不测风云人有旦夕祸福”，还是让我们珍惜拥有的每一天吧。

　　刘峰教授，一路走好!

　　警方目前以抢劫殴打致死罪嫌逮捕疑犯。

　　　A professor at the University of North Carolina died Thursday morning after being mugged on a Chapel Hill street during a lunchtime walk Wednesday, police said.

　　Feng Liu, 59, of Durham, a research professor in UNC's Eshelman School of Pharmacy, was assaulted and robbed at about 1 p.m. Wednesday in a residential area near the intersection of West University Drive and Ransom Street, police said.

　　"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 and were charged with murder and armed robbery Thursday afternoon.

　　Davis also is charged with misdemeanor possession of stolen goods. Both men were being held without bond in the Orange County jail.

　　"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."

　　Counselors were available on campus to help UNC students and faculty cope with the attack on Liu and his death.

　　"I am heartbroken over this horrible tragedy," Chancellor Carol Folt said in a statement. "I want to assure you that safety and security of students, faculty, staff and visitors on Carolina’s campus and in the surrounding community is my highest priority."

　　Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt also expressed horror over the fatal mugging.

　　"A safe and secure environment is fundamental to our quality of life in Chapel Hill, and as a community, we must not tolerate such senseless violence," Kleinschmidt said in a statement.
