Occurring on the same day was another incident whereby a man was later found in the backyard of a Hollywood home during an attempted robbery, which, however, failed since the man accidentally shot himself in the foot before being taken to a hospital.
An astute watch commander conceptualized the existing relationship between the shooting and, who then resolved to alert the authorities.
The gunmen used as an entry point sliding door glass, according to investigators responding to calls about the Beverly Hills shooting. They arrived at the Avant estate on Wednesday, where they discovered Jacqueline with gunshot wounds.
