Sony publicist, Ronni Chasen, was gunned down shortly after midnight in Beverly Hills, California. Chasen was on her way home from the Sony premiere of "Burlesque" starring Cher and Christina Aguilera, which she was promoting. Chasen also had a hand in producing the soundtrack to the film. She was brutally shot in the chest five times and pronounced dead at Cedars Sinai Hospital. 

There were no signs of robbery, leaving many to question the motive behind what was clearly a targeted killing. Murder is not a common occurrence in Beverly Hills.  It is not the norm for someone to walk up to a vehicle in Beverly Hills and purposefully shoot the driver over and over again. 

The absence of robbery, in tandem with the manner in which Chasen was repeatedly shot, exhibits a premeditated intent to kill. Someone wanted her dead and accomplished their goal. The question is who and why. Hollywood is a sleazy town, full of criminal behavior.
