A 31-year-old man was arrested Friday night in the death of a Hollywood woman who was shot in the back of the head in an apparent dispute over money, police said.
Carrie Jean Melvin, 30, was walking with her boyfriend in Hollywood near Sunset Boulevard and McCadden Place (map), when she was shot on July 5, Los Angeles Police Department officials said.
...
Obioha and Melvin knew each other and had a financial dispute, Preciado said.
The shooter approached wordlessly and fired on Melvin from behind, hitting her in the back of the head, and then fled in a black sedan, according to police.
The gunman was described only as a black man in his 30s wearing dark clothing.

Gee, let us guess without even reading . . .
You really don’t have to guess.
When the story first broke here on FR, a lot of morons here claimed that it was a hate crime — before knowing the facts.
Was the “financial dispute” over drugs, or over something less boring and predictable?
It will come out at the trial.
I wouldn’t rule out that Johnnie shot Frankie because HE was her man
Eczema what?
An illegal alien or one of Third World immigrants this country is eager to attract?
Somebody sure as hell done somebody wrong.
He wanted money
She had some
Pictures of victim at the link. She’s NOT GUILTY. (Well, dead, but still...)
Ezeoma Obioha? Let me guess.. Obama's son? A Kenyan immigrant no doubt. He is possibly an illegal, and get THIS; HE OWED HER $600 and failed to pay her. Perhaps she was going to take legal action against him for refusing to pay? She did Internet work for him and he never paid her for her work.
I guess he did it the Kenyan way. He murdered her so he would never have to pay her the money he owed her.
A shotgun, point blank to the back of the head, even with bird shot...well...
Did it in a busy area, in front of witnesses, that shows hate in my book.
Did he hate her because she was White, because she was a woman, because she refused to back down when he wouldn't pay ?
Doesn't really matter, a beautiful woman is gone from this world.
She made a mistake ever speaking to or knowing this POS. From Africa I suppose. What particular cesspit? Who knows.
The killer has a Nigerian name...prolly a Nigerian
Forget the American part. The killer is from Africa. He came all the way over to America to spend his next 50 years in prison. No dearth penalty in California
The killing was originally thought to be a random act of violence but investigators now believe Melvin was targeted by Obioha due to a financial dispute. According to KFI AM 640, Obioha had hired Melvin to "produce online promotions for a security or clothing business." Just days before the killing, Melvin threatened to take Obioha to small claims court over a check he either bounced or canceled. The check was only for a few hundred dollars.
According to her LinkedIn, Melvin was the head of a social media company. Obioha lists himself as the head of a clothing company called Hoodfellas on his Facebook page, and is also the security guard at a pot dispensary. Police raided both the clothing store and the pot shop:
The suspected killer
13 people convicted of murder have been executed in California following the 1976 U.S. Supreme Court decision of Gregg v. Georgia. The first two executions were by gas chamber; all subsequent executions were by lethal injection.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_California#Executions_after_1976
No one executed since 2006 in California. I read there is a defacto ban on capital punishment there. You could kill 10 people and you will not be convicted in a way where you get the death penalty.
