KLMNO Va. man slain in Calif. leaves ‘perfect family’


Victim was robbed, shot in Oakland while on trip for a job interview


by Tom Jackman


On the day that Jinghong Kang was shot to death on a dark street in Oakland, Calif., after handing over $17, six students from China arrived at his home in Fairfax County, where they had planned to stay while studying the Bible at Kang’s church in Dunn Loring. It wasn’t unusual for Kang to host students at his house in the Fair Oaks area, although his wife, three children and mother also lived there, his wife said Monday. And it also wasn’t surprising that when a man and a woman con- fronted Kang with a gun last week, he gave them what little money he had without hesita- tion. He was shot anyway. “It was kind of a perfect family,


to me,” Wang said, “but suddenly he got ripped away from us. It’s


such pain, and I believe the pain will be forever.” The couple have three sons, ages 10, 12 and 17. Oakland police officers said


they think the case might be part of a string of street robberies committed in the downtown area by a man and a woman who were captured on a surveillance video camera shortly before Kang was shot at 11:30 p.m. July 18. Kang, 45, worked for ITT but


had traveled to California that day for a job interview the next morning with Google. He had gone for a late-night dental ap- pointment in Oakland with a friend he knew through their church, his wife said. The friend was standing outside Kang’s rental car, helping him with di- rections back to his hotel, when they were approached by the rob- bers, police said. The friend was not hurt.


“I should have told him not to


go,” Kang’s wife said. “I didn’t want to move; the kids didn’t want to move. He said it was just a job interview. He’d go just to check it out.”


Kang was the youngest of


three children who were born and grew up in Beijing, his wife said. That’s where they met. Kang received a degree in


physics in Beijing in 1990 and then moved to the United States to attend graduate school at Eastern Illinois University. Kang and Wang married in 1991, and they moved to Blacksburg, where Kang received a master’s degree in electrical engineering and a doctorate in math from Virginia Tech. The couple moved to Northern Virginia, where Kang worked as a network engineer for several companies, including Booz Allen Hamilton and, most recently, ITT. Kang lost his job at Booz Al- len because he was unable to ob- tain a security clearance, pos- sibly because of his Chinese heri- tage, his wife said. He had also been rejected for clearance at ITT. A security clearance wouldn’t be a problem at Google, Wang said. “He said the job really fit him,” said Wang, a financial data analyst for Capital One. “He liked the weather in that area.”


But the couple never really dis-


cussed moving to the Bay Area in any detail. They would do that when he got back. “As a husband, I can’t think of


anything he couldn’t do,” his wife said. “He fixed everything: the house, the car, all the computers, the electronic equipment. I was completely dependent on him. I don’t even know how to change the light bulbs.” Kang liked to take his family


on vacations, to China and around the United States, and this summer they bought a sea- son pass to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, his wife said. He was also involved with projects at his church.


Although he grew up in athe-


istic China, “he met the Lord here,” Wang said, “and he be- lieved. He’s very, very faithful.” He read the Bible to his sons ev- ery night. He lived a simple life without luxuries, his wife said, and owned only one suit, which he had taken to California for the interview. Wang and a family friend, Tammy Cheu, described Kang as


outgoing. He had a wide circle of friends, from work, church and his college days, and he re- mained in touch with friends in Beijing. “He was so approach- able,” Cheu said. For several years, Kang had opened his home to Chinese stu- dents from Longwood University in Farmville, Va., when the dorms closed for Christmas break. “They all became good friends with him,” Wang said, and he stayed in touch with them, even visiting them in China.


Some of those students were


returning this summer to stay with Kang and study Christian- ity. “I sometimes envied how he cared for them so much. That’s the way he lived. To whoever needs help,” his wife said. Oakland police and CrimeS- toppers are offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to an arrest in Kang’s death. A fund to benefit his fami- ly has been established at his church, the Church in Dunn Lor- ing, 2317 Morgan Lane, Dunn Loring, Va. 22027. jackmant@washpost.com

his ward, and himself, led to a se- ries of successes on the council. His doggedness ensured the con- struction of three recreation cen- ters and the restoration of Mc- Kinley Technical High School, one of the better-performing high schools in the city, accord- ing to standardized test scores. But that same focus at times led to misguided steps in policy and politics, according to former council colleagues and political observers. He unsuccessfully sued then-


D.C. Council Chairman Linda Cropp, for instance, when he dis- agreed with her decision that the committee he chaired lacked ju- risdiction over the baseball stadi- um project — which he support- ed — a move she dubbed “bizarre behavior.” And, fearing that he would be outvoted during debate over a “living wage” bill, Orange put off a vote and then scheduled the meeting for a Saturday, only to cancel it at the last minute. “If you don’t stand up for


something, you’ll fall for any- thing,” said Orange, paraphras- ing an old saying to explain his legislative approach. Still, Orange was largely


viewed as a hard-working, fiscal- ly savvy dealmaker and a reliable vote for business interests — of- ten allied with Williams and Fi- nance Committee Chairman Jack Evans (D-Ward 2). “He was one of the votes we could always count on,” said Bar- bara Lang, president of the D.C. Chamber of Commerce, whose separate political action commit- tee has endorsed council member

Vincent Orange announces his candidacy in May, surrounded by supporters of his bid for D.C. Council chairman. As a council member, Orange was seen as a bulldog in his support for Ward 5.


Kwame R. Brown (D-At Large) in the race for chairman in part for continuity. “If he was thinking about something, he’d always call us to ask, ‘Am I going in the wrong direction?’ You don’t get as much of that anymore.”


Orange on the council


Orange, 53, was first elected to the council in 1998, defeating longtime incumbent Harry


Thomas Sr. As a former public of- ficial most recently in the private sector, he stresses the impor- tance of quality schools in his self-made story as one of 10 sib- lings raised in Oakland, Calif., by parents with a sixth-grade educa- tion. One of his educational op- portunities came in the form of a scholarship to a Colorado board- ing school before attending How- ard University law school and lat-

er entering politics. However, if endorsements and


electability matter in public of- fice, Orange is lagging behind Brown, who has racked up sup- port from labor and business groups as well as all but one of his council colleagues. Such pre- dicaments have not deterred Or- ange: It took him three tries to win a council seat, and he re- ceived 2.9 percent of the vote in his 2006 mayoral bid, coming in behind a retired business exec- utive not well known in political circles. “You have to persevere,” said

rarely saw Orange without his No. 5 lapel pin, a reminder of his ward-centric focus. But Orange also used his role as chairman of the Government Operations Committee to tackle issues of wider interest: He probed gov- ernment contracting practices, strengthened job requirements for the District’s inspector gener- al and initiated legislation to cre- ate the city’s Emancipation Day to commemorate the freeing of 3,000 slaves in the District. (To help balance the books last year, Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) tried to eliminate the public holiday to save at least $1.3million, but the council restored the funding.) Today on the campaign trail — where his buzz words are “lead- ership, maturity and accountabil- ity” — Orange warns that the city has dipped dangerously into its budget reserve funds and risks returning to the days when a fi- nancial control board directed the District’s spending. “Anyone running the govern- ment right now has to pay atten- tion to the money. ‘V.O.’ eats, drinks and sleeps this stuff,” said Orange’s campaign co-chairman, former council member Kevin Chavous, using the candidate’s nickname.


But his preference for fiscal


conservatism seems to have its limits: Orange favors lavish par- ties (including birthday bashes at Love nightclub), and as he was leaving office in 2006 he unsuc- cessfully proposed increasing council members’ pay to $140,000 — a 51 percent hike.


New views on gay rights Although he’s been steadfast on many causes, Orange’s views have undergone a transforma- tion on same-sex marriage, one of the District’s major legislative undertakings this council ses- sion.


During the mayor’s race four years ago, Orange said he was the only candidate “morally fit” to serve because only he opposed gay unions. Since then, the Dis- trict has followed five states in al- lowing gay couples to marry this year, and the majority of city resi- dents in a January Washington Post poll said they supported same-sex nuptials.


But as a former vice president


of government affairs at Pepco, which he joined after his failed mayoral run in 2006, he persuad- ed the utility to extend the ben- efits it offers married couples to domestic partners. Orange said his thinking on same-sex mar- riage changed after working with gay-rights activists and getting to know same-sex couples and their families. Also at Pepco, Orange was part of a team that lobbied to get city government agreement on bring- ing so-called smart electricity meters to District households. In his “Orange Plan” for the cam- paign, he outlines elements of separate clean energy legislation. Council member Mary Cheh


(D-Ward 3), who sponsored the legislation, said she was sur- prised to see Orange highlighting the initiative in his campaign lit- erature. “The reality is, I found him ob-


structionist and not particularly helpful,” said Cheh, who has en- dorsed Brown. “I understand and accept that he was a lobbyist for Pepco, but I was always putting out fires he was starting.” Orange said the final legisla- tion was the result of a compro- mise, which he supports. Four years out of office, Orange has shown this election cycle that he can still raise money, collect- ing nearly $183,000 in the cam- paign’s first two months. He points to his citywide election in 2008 as a Democratic National Committeeman as evidence of electability. At the state party, Orange has represented the D.C. Democratic State Committee in a dispute over fundraising for activities surrounding the nominating con- vention for Barack Obama in Denver in 2008. This spring, the D.C. Office of Campaign Finance fined the party for failing to re- port the donations, after some members complained of a “slush fund.” Orange has argued on ap- peal that the convention commit- tee was a separate entity, un- related to the party, and not sub- ject to disclosure rules. The campaign finance office is


in settlement talks with the party, according to general counsel Kathy Williams. The office “tracked every dollar,” Orange said. “The money has all been ac- counted for. It all boiled down to a legal issue.” As a candidate, Orange has not shied from taking on the estab- lishment from which he came. He proposes reworking the exist- ing council committees and elim- inating others, which would leave some members without committees to lead. “We don’t need 13 mini-may-


ors,” Orange said. “I’m going to stir things up.” marimowa@washpost.com

Man pleads guilty in son’s shaking death A Fairfax County man pleaded


guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter for fatally shaking his 9-month-old last year. Dylan M. Price, who lived in the 9800 block of Spillway Court in the Burke area, was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital on Sept. 22 and pronounced dead. Fairfax de- tectives obtained an indictment against Herbert M. Price Jr. for murder and child abuse in Janu- ary. Prosecutors dismissed the child-abuse charge and agreed to Price’s guilty plea to involuntary manslaughter, with up to 10 years in prison. Sentencing is sched- uled for Sept. 24.

Vandals deface Olney synagogue


Vandals struck a Montgomery


County synagogue, spray-paint- ing swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans on the walls, parking lot and light posts, according to po- lice and a synagogue member. The vandalism at B’nai Shalom


Synagogue of Olney, in the 18400 block of Burtfield Drive, was dis- covered early Monday, police said. The anti-Semitic phrases, scrawled using black spray-paint, included “work will set u free,” a reference to a sign that hangs over the Auschwitz concentration camp, and “Death 2 Zionists.” The vandals also used German, writ- ing phrases including “Juden raus,” which means “Jews out” and was used by Nazis. “This is absolutely inappropri-


ate and very, very hateful,” said Cpl. Dan Friz, a Montgomery County police spokesman. — Maria Glod
