Jeziorski, a former University of California, Berkeley educator, was fatally shot five times in the chest and neck, as reported by the Polish news outlet TVP World.

He was killed in broad daylight near the home of his ex-wife. 

Jeziorski was in the Greek capital for a custody hearing, according to the ABC affiliate KGO-TV.

A masked gunman is believed to have carried out the attack and cops are probing the shooter’s movements.

Local media reports suggest a car was caught on surveillance footage waiting for the gunman.

Cops are probing if the attack was targeted. 

Jeziorski, who was known as Przemek, had worked at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business in varying capacities since 2012.

Heartbroken brother Lukasz said his sibling was a victim of a “terrible crime.”

“He was a prominent academic in marketing science, industrial organization, and data analytics,” Lukasz noted in a statement shared on WhyDonate – an online fundraising platform akin to GoFundMe.

“He loved teaching and sharing his passion for the intricacies of marketing analytics and marketing science with his students.”

He claimed his brother was murdered in cold blood.

In a Facebook post, Lukasz told how their family had been rocked by a tragedy – weeks before his brother’s death.

Lukasz and Jeziorski’s dad died on June 4.

“We barely started to get over it,” he said.

Jeziorski was a highly-respected scholar having worked at Berkeley in different roles for 13 years.

He had been an associate professor of marketing at the college since 2018.

FAMILY’S DOUBLE TRAGEDY

Throughout his career, Jeziorski also held positions at institutions such as Johns Hopkins University in Maryland and Duke University in North Carolina, as indicated on his LinkedIn profile.

He was a visiting scholar at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business between September and December 2021.

Outside of academia, Jeziorski worked as a Microsoft researcher between 2008 and 2010.

Jeziorski was the co-founder of the property service Keybee – a platform which helps Americans find short-term rentals.

Tributes have been paid to the college lecturer and scholar following his death.

Devastated pal, Olga Adamkiewicz, said she had known Jeziorski since he was a child.

In a Facebook post, she said he was “probably the most talented” in their friendship group.

“I’m not ready for us to leave I’m not ready to say goodbye to someone close under such dramatic circumstances,” she said.

Zsolta Katona, Jeziorski’s colleague, described his death as a “senseless tragedy.”

She paid tribute to him, saying he was an “outstanding scholar.”

“Przemek was an amazing person, a friend, a colleague,” she told SFGate.

The shooter is yet to be arrested as investigations continue.
