'NO MOTIVE' IN MTV PRODUCER BEN-MEIR'S MURDER

"SHOCKED"

BAFFLED cops have no motive and no suspect in the shooting death of an MTV producer who's body was found on a sidewalk near his apartment on Sunday morning.  Gabe Ben-Meir, who worked as music coordinator and production coordinator on several shows for the music channel, including "Punk'd" and "Nitro Circus," apparently had "no enemies" and cops can't say whether it was a robbery.
Los Angeles Police Detective Paul Funicello told CNN they are considering "any and all of possibilities," in the death.

Investigators expect the autopsy, which has not been completed, will
tell them what type of gun was used to shoot Ben-Meir in the head, he said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene after a neighbor who was walking his dog found him on the sidewalk.

The popular producer's friend's family and colleagues were all shocked by his death and staff at MTV were quick to pay tribute to him. 

MTV Senior Vice President Nathaniel Brown said: "We are shocked and saddened by the tragic death of Gabe Ben-Meir, who was a valued member of the MTV family and a beloved and dedicated colleague and friend. Our hearts go out to his family."
