Publicist murder.

On november 16th, Ronni Chasen, a Hollywood Publicist was found shot in her mercedes in beverly hills. She had just gotten back from a party after attending the hollywood premiere of "Burlesque." Following the murder the man they considered a "point of interest" shot himself inside the Harvey Apartments in Los Angeles. His neighbors told police he was bragging the previous week about killing her and how he would be making $10,000 for doing so and was still waiting for the money. The neighbor (Terri Gilipin) said she decided not to call because he had always seemed paranoid so they didn't take it seriously. Another neighbor told police he always described himself as an ex-convict and talked about being in state prison for drug use and possession of fire arms. He told the man if it ever came down to going to prison again, he would rather kill himself. This makes him a person of interest for obvious reasons. The police scrambled around the area of the suicide and found a store clerk who saw the man frequently. He says the man always talked about a $10,000 settlement, but he didn't think he would be capable of handling the weapon or carrying out what appeared to be a professional shot. As the police entered the lobby to approach the man, he backed away, refused to put his hands up, pulled out a pistol and shot himself. Police haven't released a motive for the shooting, but the death was ruled homicide without a clear suspect.
