The dark movie that was the story of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen’s death is coming to an end.

Simple as that. Sad as that.

Although police are now convinced that Smith acted alone in what they believe was a robbery, questions remain, reports The Los Angeles Times. The preliminary ballistics tests from Smith’s gun do indicate it was the same weapon used to fire several bullets into Chasen’s head and chest as she drove home from a movie premiere party on November 16.

Smith, who had been evicted from his apartment and was wanted on a charge of violating his probation, “was at a desperate point and was reaching out and doing desperate measures,” Det. Sgt. Michael Publicker told The Times. Chasen’s purse was still in the car when she was found and there is no evidence as of now that Smith ever entered the car.

Police are calling the investigation 60-70 percent complete.
