UC Berkeley professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski killed by masked gunman in Greece: ‘We are heartbroken’

UC Berkeley Business Professor Fatally Shot in Broad Daylight in Greece

A shocking incident occurred in Greece on July 4th, as UC Berkeley business professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski was shot and killed by a masked gunman in broad daylight. The 43-year-old professor was attending a custody hearing for his two children when he was shot five times in the chest and neck near his ex-wife’s home in a suburb of Athens. Despite the efforts of authorities, the suspect, described as a tall man with an athletic build, managed to flee the scene on foot and remains at large.

Jeziorski, who had been a professor at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business for 8 years, was a highly respected scholar in the field of marketing science, industrial organization, and data analytics. His sudden and tragic death has left the Berkeley community in mourning, with colleagues and students remembering him as a dedicated teacher and a loving father.

In the wake of the shooting, Jeziorski’s brother set up a crowdfunding page to raise funds for legal fees, repatriation of his remains to Poland, and other related expenses. The Berkeley Haas Dean Jennifer Chatman expressed her condolences, calling Jeziorski a beloved member of the community and emphasizing the need to support one another during this difficult time.

Colleagues and peers remembered Jeziorski as an outstanding scholar with a passion for his work and a deep commitment to his students. His research, focused on quantitative marketing, industrial organization, antitrust and regulation, digital marketing, and financial technology, has been published in prestigious academic journals.

Before joining the faculty at UC Berkeley, Jeziorski studied at several renowned institutions and taught at Johns Hopkins University. His contributions to the field of marketing will be remembered and his presence greatly missed in the academic community. The investigation into his murder is ongoing, as authorities work to bring the perpetrator to justice.
