A California father-of-three was abducted from his home and murdered by his own boss, officials claimed, with his brutal killing captured on video.
Shukur Aikebaer, 60, was nabbed outside his Chino Hills home on Wednesday night after inspecting the electrical panel to the house after the power went out.
Authorities claim that Zhengfeng Bo, 67, and Jianquan Bo, 66, bundled Aikebaer into a vehicle and drove off.
The two men are accused of taking police on a high-speed chase for two miles, before home surveillance footage showed Jianquan exit the vehicle.
He then walked to the trunk of the car with his hands in the air before opening it and shooting Aikebaer dead.
Deputies then opened fire on Jianquan, emergency teams who responded to the scene found both men dead. Zhengfeng was taken into custody shortly after.
According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Aikebaer and Zhengfeng knew each other.
Business records seen by The California Post indicated that Zhengfeng was actually Aikebaer’s boss.

According to the outlet, Zhengfeng and Aikebaer both worked for a limited liability firm named Panshi.
The business, a real estate investment company, was based out of Zhengfeng’s home in Irvine, the outlet reported.
ABC7 Eyewitness News reported that they are both also linked to another firm, with the two businesses currently involved in lawsuits filed this year.
One was filed earlier this week, the outlet reported, with Zhengfeng’s attorney telling the outlet it involved a $20 million apartment complex in Pasadena.
The attorney told the outlet that Zhengfeng was suing the former managers of the complex who he claimed were not allowing him to take control of the complex.
Aikebaer was not named in that lawsuit, the outlet said, but the attorney described him as being a ‘middleman.’
The attorney said he believed that Aikebaer had introduced Zhengfeng to the person with whom he is now tied up in a lawsuit against, the outlet added.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has also now searched the home in Irvine belonging to Zhengfeng, ABC reported that Jianquan lived there also.

One of Aikebaer’s daughters described her father as being ‘the greatest father ever’
One neighbor described the moment that SWAT teams descended on the home and ran into the address with their guns drawn.
She told the outlet: ‘It was very scary because generally in Irvine, nothing big like this happens.’
One of Aikebaer’s daughters, who did not reveal her name, told NBC Los Angeles: ‘He was the greatest father ever.
‘He was the best dad, best person. To anyone around him, everyone would say he’s just a blessing to have around.’
A GoFundMe has also since been launched to help Aikebaer’s family cover funeral expenses.
Locals have since gathered around his family and organized an online fundraiser

A post to it said: ‘The family has experienced an unimaginable tragedy when their father was kidnapped and killed from his home when the daughter and wife were home.
‘No family should ever have to endure the heartbreak of losing somebody they love so suddenly and unexpectedly, especially in such a senseless act of violence.
‘As the family navigates this tragic loss, they’re also faced with losing their sole provider.
‘He was caring, selfless, and the most loving person. He was an amazing father to three beautiful young daughters, and a loving husband to his wife.
‘During this incredibly difficult time, we want to come together as a community to help ease some of the burden so they can focus on grieving and honoring his memory.’
