In a cruel twist of fate, the family of slain UC Berkeley professor Przemyslaw “Przemek” Jeziorski is now fighting to remove alleged squatters from his East Bay home, which was left to his 11-year-old twin children.

Jeziorski, a marketing professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, was shot and killed in Greece in July 2025 during a bitter child custody dispute. His ex-wife and several others have been charged in connection with the murder. The professor, known affectionately as “PJ,” left behind deep grief among colleagues, friends, and especially his young twins, Zoe and Angelo.

Now, nearly a year later, relatives trying to manage the professor’s Kensington-area property (near Berkeley) discovered it had been infiltrated by squatters. The family reports ongoing struggles to evict the unauthorized occupants, complicated by California’s tenant protection laws that can prolong the legal process even in clear cases of trespassing.

The home, a family residence filled with memories, now stands as another painful obstacle for loved ones already devastated by the professor’s violent death. Photos show a charming house with a tiled roof, surrounded by greenery—once a safe haven, now the center of a new legal battle.

The family has expressed frustration over the situation, which adds financial and emotional strain as they seek to secure the property for the twins’ future. Local authorities and eviction processes are underway, but progress remains slow.

This case highlights broader issues with squatter’s rights laws in California and the additional hardships faced by families of murder victims. As the Jeziorski family continues mourning, they must also navigate this infuriating property dispute to protect their loved one’s legacy and his children’s inheritance.
