LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors say a high-profile entertainment marketing consultant was targeted by a woman who had been stalking one of his friends, a film director, before she fatally shot him inside his Los Angeles home. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release Thursday that the woman sought out Michael Latt’s home. His slaying sent shockwaves through Hollywood as the suspect faces charges of murder and burglary. The woman previously had a restraining order filed against her by a friend of Latt’s, director A. V. Rockwell, who said in court filings that Michl worked as an extra in one of her films.
