Woman charged in Michael Latt’s murder stalked director pal

Social justice advocate Michael Latt was gunned down at his home over his friendship with a Hollywood director who was being stalked by the accused killer, according to prosecutors.

Jameelah Elena Michl, a 36-year-old homeless woman living out of her car, was charged with murdering the 33-year-old advocate and Hollywood marketing executive after forcing her way into his Mid-Wilshire home late Monday.

“She targeted him for being friends with a woman she had been stalking,” the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said in an update Thursday.

Although the DA did not identify the woman being stalked, Latt’s director friend A.V. Rockwell had taken a restraining order out against Michl, who’d appeared as an extra in one of her movies, “A Thousand and One.”

According to court documents, the suspect allegedly hand-delivered chilling letters to the director’s home — including one warning, “My Glock is loaded.”

Another person was at Latt’s home at the time he was killed, according to the DA, although it was not Rockwell, according to the Associated Press.

Michl “allegedly knocked on the door, forcing herself into the residence once it was opened by one of the occupants” — then “shot and killed” Latt with a semi-automatic handgun, the DA said.

Latt was well-connected in Hollywood and had worked on projects with celebrated filmmakers like Ryan Coogler and Ava DuVernay, as well as rap artist Common.

His mother, Michelle Satter, is one of the founding directors of the Sundance Institute’s artists programs, where she helped Quentin Tarantino early in their career. His father, David Latt, is a film producer, and his brother is an agent.

He posted a photo with Rockwell and his mom at the Sundance Film Festival, where Rockwell’s movie won the Grand Jury Prize. “Congratulations to @AVRockwell on your incredible feature film directorial debut, A Thousand and One,” his caption said.

Rockwell said in court filings filed in June that Michl started stalking her after appearing as a background actor in that same movie.

After filming wrapped, Michl sent the director a large gift box, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, and later reached out to her to seek a personal relationship, court records and officials indicated.

When Rockwell failed to respond to her overtures, Michl allegedly hand-delivered chilling letters to the director’s home threatening suicide, according to the filing.

“My Glock is loaded as I write this,” one of the notes read. “One pull of the trigger and I’ll be free,” according to court documents.

Michl sent at least five “extremely long and threatening emails and text messages” to Rockwell, repeatedly called her phone and approached her at public events, according to the filings.

“As you continue to bask in the glory of ‘A Thousand and One,’ l want you to remember, and not forget all the hell that people went through to help bring your masterpiece to the screen,” Michl wrote in an April 29 email.

On May 3, Michl wrote again, threatening to take her own life.

“I’m taking my Glock into Griffith Park and not coming out,” she wrote in the email, the documents show.

Rockwell got the restraining order reissued on numerous occasions, after complaining that she could not eat or sleep, and was suffering from panic attacks “caused by the anxiety and fear for my safety,” according to court documents.

Michl remained at the scene of Monday’s deadly shooting and was arrested by the police. Her car, which she had been living in, was seized as evidence.

She was charged with murder and burglary. Her arraignment was continued to Dec. 15, and prosecutors were seeking $3 million bail.
