One shooter is in custody and the hunt is on for his partner in the killing of a 23-year-old man and the shooting of a 62-year-old woman on North Cherry Street Thursday.  LCPD Chief Don Dixon said detectives are looking for any information the public can provide on the unidentified second shooter.

Casey Anthony’s defense attorney, Jose Baez, who already has his eye on a gig as a TV legal analyst, reportedly met with a literary agent from Inkwell Management last week in the hopes of also landing a book deal. The agent, Richard Pine, already represents authors such as Arianna Huffington and James Patterson.
