LOS ANGELES (AP) — A high-profile entertainment marketing consultant was targeted by a woman who had been stalking one of his friends before she fatally shot him after her forcing her way inside his Los Angeles home, prosecutors said Thursday.
This week's slaying of Michael Latt sent shockwaves through Hollywood as the suspect faces charges of murder and burglary.
Latt, 33, had worked on projects with filmmakers including Ryan Coogler and Ava DuVernay, as well as rap artist Common.
Prosecutors allege that Jameelah Elena Michl, 36, knocked on his home's door and forced herself inside once it was open.
Latt had also worked at the Sundance Institute, which issued a statement on behalf of his family.
