Ronni Chasen Murderer Acted Alone, Police Conclude

The Ronni Chasen murder case is nearly closed.
Chasen, a Hollywood publicist, was gunned down on November 16, shortly after leaving a premiere party in honor of the film Burlesque.

On December 1, ballistics tests matched the gun Harold Martin Smith used to kill himself with the one used to kill Chasin.
This evidence, combined with a neighbor who claimed Smith had bragged about murdering Chasen, led police to believe a professional hit was put on the publicist. But a subsequent investigation has authorities stating otherwise.
