SUPERSTAR Hollywood Publicist was Ronni Chasen was murdered with a gun stolen from a cop, reports say. The beloved Tinseltown PR woman was driving through Beverly Hills in her Mercedes-Benz after the premier of the movie "Burlesque" when ex-con and career criminal Harold Martin Smith tried to rob her. What happened next is unclear, but by the end of the exchange Chasen's body had been pumped with seven bullets.
Now it's emerged those bullets came from a gun stolen from a cop, although officers remained tight lipped as to the officer involved.
Martin Smith then used the gun to commit suicide before cops could question him about the fatal shooting.
Police Chief David Snowden told The Hollywood Reporter: "That man is the man
that shot her, there is no conspiracy, nothing else was involved."
"I know a lot of people don't like to see it end like that - they'd rather have something more dramatic, but that's just the way it is. The facts are the facts."
It's thought the police revolver was stolen during a burglary in the San Fernando Valley but an official statement from the Beverly Hills Police Department is expected Friday.
