Background: Jameelah Elena Michl, aged 36, became the subject of a criminal investigation following a series of events that culminated in the death of Hollywood consultant Michael Latt.

Michael Latt, born in 1990, was a Hollywood producer and public relations and advertising expert. He was a former Netflix manager and founder of the entertainment marketing consulting firm Lead With Love. Latt was known for his social justice advocacy work in Hollywood. He collaborated with influential artists, brands, and organizations like Common, Ryan Coogler, Netflix, Emerson Collective, Sundance Film Festival, DGA, Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY, Frieze, UCLA, and Barry Jenkins.

Legal Proceedings: Michl was arrested and faced charges of first-degree murder and burglary. She was held on a $3 million bail following the incident. On June 25, 2024, Michl entered a guilty plea to both first-degree murder and burglary charges in a Los Angeles court. Additionally, she admitted to the use of a firearm during the crime.

Sentencing: Michl was sentenced to 35 years to life in prison on July 10, 2024.

Motive: The investigation revealed that Michl’s actions were motivated by her obsession with movie director A.V. Rockwell.

A.V. Rockwell, born Alina Victoria Rockwell, is an American film director known for her work on race, identity, and systemic oppression. Her debut film, A Thousand and One, won a Sundance Grand Jury Prize in 2023. Rockwell’s early life and education took place in Queens, New York, where she was raised by Jamaican parents. She attended Brooklyn Technical High School and later studied film at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. Her passion for film was further ignited during her time studying European cinema in Paris. Rockwell’s career began with the series Open City Mixtape, which explored the lives of young people in New York City. Her collaboration with Alicia Keys on the music short film The Gospel for Keys’ sixth studio album, Here, earned her a silver Clio Award. Her short film Feathers was acquired by Fox Searchlight Pictures for their Searchlight Shorts collection. Rockwell has received fellowships from the Sundance Institute, Tribeca Film Institute, and the John S. Guggenheim Foundation. She was a 2018 Young Guns award winner. Her filmography reflects her New York roots and her commitment to telling authentic and socially relevant stories.

Impact: The case has had a significant impact on LA's entertainment community. Latt was remembered for his contributions as a film marketing consultant and strategist, particularly for his commitment to elevating artists of color and social justice causes.

Conclusion: The tragic outcome of this case serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of obsessive behavior and the importance of taking threats seriously. The legal system has responded by imposing a life sentence on Michl, reflecting the severity of her actions.
