"We have set up a joint investigation team involving local political and legislative committee, the procuratorate and the public security bureau. The police officer is helping the team with its investigation," he said.
"The team will carry out a serious and fair investigation," he added.
But the spokesman would not disclose the police officer's name or more details.
Yin Fangming was an associate professor and specialist in craniocerebral microsurgical anatomy, micro-neurosurgery, and interventional therapy of cerebrovascular diseases, according to the hospital website.
He had published more than 40 medical papers and participated in five key medical programs listed by Guangdong Province, state and military authorities. He had won prizes offered by the Guangdong Province for his outstanding achievements.
"I feel very sad that I suddenly lost such a nice colleague. He was good natured and never argued with others," Wang Qinghua, an associate professor of the Neurosurgery Department of Zhujiang Hospital, told Xinhua.
Yin had worked at the Neurosurgery Department since 2003, Wang said.
Local media reports said that Yin had had a brief quarrel with the police officer before being shot and he was shot in the heart and liver. He was taken to the hospital at 5:15 a.m.
Reports also said that Yin had been accompanied by a classmate who had returned from Germany and they had been drinking wine before the incident.
But the classmate, whose name and address were not disclosed, could not be reached for comment.
Wang said Yin's classmate, Wang Yanming, had been at the police's Haizhu branch since the incident, but he could not be visited without permission nor could he be reached because his mobile phone had been turned off.
