A man killed in his West Los Angeles home on Monday has been identified by police as social justice advocate and key Hollywood figure Michael Latt.
Latt, 33, was fatally shot by an intruder at around 6 p.m., said Los Angeles Police. Paramedics took him to a nearby hospital, where he died of his injuries.
As the founder of social impact marketing agency "Lead With Love," Latt led campaigns alongside major artists and brands, including "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler, Netflix, and "Moonlight" director Barry Jenkins. He was the son of film producer David Latt and Michelle Satter, the founding senior director at the Sundance Institute.
“Our beloved son Michael Latt fell victim to a tragic act of violence this week,” wrote Satter in a post on X. “Michael devoted his career to supporting artists, championing organizations that raised up artists of color, & leveraged storytelling for enduring change.”
Suspect Jameelah Michl was arrested from Latt's home on Alandele Avenue. Police said the 36-year-old woman lived in her car. She is being held on charges of murder and armed burglary with $3 million bail.
In a post on Latt's Instagram by his family, celebrities and activists, including Golden Globe award-winning actress America Ferrera, "How To Get Away With Murder" actor Kendrick Sampson, and "The Hangover" producer Scott Budnick, expressed their condolences.
"Michael was a shining beacon of selfless kindness and consistency," wrote “Grey’s Anatomy” actor Jesse Williams wrote in a comment. "We've all been incredibly blessed to know him and that such goodness surrounds us still."
The investigation into Latt's murder is ongoing, said the Los Angeles Police Department’s West Bureau Homicide Detectives.

If Darwin was handing out Irony Awards ... this Latt guy would need a second trophy case.
“Jameelah,” eh?
See how that social Justice crap worked out for this dumb libtard?
Live and learn
He got social justice.
“& leveraged storytelling for enduring change.”
How’s about you Hollywood types go back to leveraging storytelling for enduring ENTERTAINMENT!
Homeless but not gunless. These ‘homeless’ whacks makes it harder to have empathy for them. A lot of them are just bad apples rotten to the core.
🤔🤔🤔
If he had spent his time and money working to ensure vagrants were put to work on cCounty work farms or hospitalized if they were mentally ill, would he still be alive?
There’s about 3 i can mention over the years
He definitely died doing what he loved to do just like Ma Red Kettle freezing to death ringing her little bell in front of Walmart.
Yes, but he would be dead to Prog Socialist Democrat Degenerates.
Was their interaction advocacy on his part or social justice on the part of his killer? Or vice versa?
The Media reporting of this is already BULLSH**
Latt knew his assailant.
They had “friends” in common.
One of these mutual contacts were part of a same BLM-type grift organizations that Latt was also connected to.
The shooter had been to Latt’s home before.
Others were present during the shooting.
Was she even “homeless?” Well, she did own a car....
Reality bites.
Isn’t senseless making assumptions as to the motives of the murderers? I mean after all senseless is kind of dehumanizing to the perps no? /sarc
😆
I read the “lead with love” as LED (lead) with love. He sure got his love delivered with led (lead)!
No sympathy here. These bleeding heart types just block out the reality of different “cultch-ahs” and pay the price. But hey, their obit will read nicely and the funeral attendees will say pretty things. So there’s that....
Probably killed because he was Jewish..ironic since he supported BLM and other jew hating groups and one comes into his home and kills him
Indeed. From a different article;
Police arrested Jameelah Elena Michl, 36, who lived in her car. Prosecutors charged her with murder and burglary on Wednesday. She is being held on $3 million bail. Police have not disclosed a motive.
In a press release on Thursday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office alleged that Michl "targeted him for being friends with a woman she had been stalking."
