在14日的震惊硅谷和华人圈的枪杀案中，几位受案人的背景基本如下：

Sid Agrawal，56岁。SiPort公司的创办人行政总裁（CEO）兼董事，具备25年创业投资及开创高科技公司的经验，曾在多间知名公司成立初期出任行政管理职位，包括 Alliance Semiconductor、Layer Five Networks和Synaptics等。投身开创新公司之前，他曾先后在Adobe、英特尔（Intel）和Bell Labs等公司出任市场推广、营业及工程部门职位。他早年在印度攻读大学取得电子工程系学士学位，及后在美国南伊利诺大学取得科学硕士学位，並於芝加哥大学取得工商管理硕士学位。

Brian Pugh，47岁。SiPort公司主责业务营运的副总裁（COO），具25年半导体业务经验，加入SiPort前，在科技公司Quorum Systems任职主管，之前曾先后任职在Silicon Wave、Samsung、Watkins-Johnson和IBM等公司出任管理及技术职位。他早年毕业於柏克莱加州大学，取得物理学及电脑学位，后於史丹福大学取得应用物理科学硕士学位。

Marilyn Lewis，67岁。Siport人力资源主管。

SiPort是一家位于硅谷的研发半导体芯片的初创公司，创办于2004年，并于2005年获得风险投资。从其网站www.siport.com 可以看出其产品是关于无线系统多媒体播放的芯片技术。

吴京华的枪杀可以说是使得这家公司导致了灭顶之灾。很难相信其能继续走下去。另外，从最新的新闻报道得知，吴京华并不是被SiPort所传言的裁员（Layoff），而是被开除（Fire）。相关英文报道可参阅：

“The reports of layoffs at SiPort, a Santa Clara, Calif.-based company that prompted killing of three executives are wrong, according to a statement issued by the company. Like me, everyone assumed that there were layoffs and that led to the shooting. Last week Silicon Valley was shocked by the shooting of three SiPort executive by alleged killer, Jing Hua Wu who is currently under arrest by the Santa Clara Police Department. Wu was terminated individually and not as part of a general layoff.

A spokesperson for one of SiPort’s investors Morgenthaler Ventures wrote to me in an email: “SiPort has never had a general layoff at the company and in fact, the company added to its staff in 2008. SiPort started shipping their HD Radio chips earlier this year and the customers seem to really like it. We were not laying people off.” The shooting killed CEO Sid Agrawal; Brian Pugh, VP of operations; and Marilyn Lewis, who was the human resources manager. SiPort Founder Aiman Kabakibo has taken over as the CEO.” （原文可参阅：SiPort Shooting: No Layoffs, Killer Was Fired）
