Michael John Baldwin.

Updates: Victim Michael John Baldwin was a surfer known in Venice as "Frosty." His family posted a memorial photo album here. He was featured in a photo for a 1996 piece by this author about Venice surf-meets-street fashion.

Police now say a man arrested Friday in the area, Mario Lopez, is not a homicide suspect. He was collared for "felony evading" police and has posted bail. The shooting, cops say, does not appear to be gang related and is still under investigation.

A man was found fatally shot in a car near the Del Rey area of the Westside Friday.

Los Angeles police were called to the 5500 block of Margaret Avenue shortly before 7 a.m., LAPD Officer Bruce Borihanh said.

Cops found the victim, which Fox 11 News described as a man in his 20s or 30s, with a gunshot wound to the head.

The neighborhood, not far from the Fox Hills mall, is quiet and middle class. But it's also part of turf claimed by the Culver City Boyz gang.

The who or why had not been established yet, however.

Update: Police say the car the man was found in, a Lexus, was reported stolen out of the West L.A. area within the last few weeks.

Detectives are now looking into any possible gang ties to the violence.

Update: #2: Police haven't identified the suspect who was arrested but are IDing the dead man as Michael John Baldwin, 34.

Used cars assessment is very important before buying any cars; this is because when you are paying for a used car it is a risk and you can be paying for something which is simply crap therefore the used car report makes sure that you have paid for something you have got.

There is way more to this story. I heard this guy who was shot and killed stole the car in the Valley and drove it all the way to Del Rey. However, before ending up near Culver City he made some other stops. All of this happened early in the morning. My guess is this isnt' gang related but definitely something to do with drugs. He was also found with a 45 in his belt so what was he expecting or who?

What It’s Like to Chill Out With Whom the Rest of the World Considers As The Most Ruthless Men: Ratko Mladic, Goran Hadzic and Radovan Karadzic (+) Confessions of a Female War Crimes Investigator By Jill Louise Starr NJ USA

https://sites.google.com/site/...

Retrospectively, it was all so simple, natural and matter of fact being on a boat restaurant in Belgrade, sitting with, laughing, drinking a two hundred bottle of wine and chatting about war and peace while Ratko Mladic held my hand. Mladic, a man considered the world’s most ruthless war criminal since Adolf Hitler, still at large and currently having a five million dollar bounty on his head for genocide by the international community. Yet there I was with my two best friends at the time, a former Serbian diplomat, his wife, and Ratko Mladic just chilling. There was no security, nothing you’d ordinarily expect in such circumstances. Referring to himself merely as, Sharko; this is the story of it all came about.

Irrefutable Proof ICTY Is Corrupt Court/Irrefutable Proof the Hague Court Cannot Legitimately Prosecute Karadzic Case By Jill Starr

http://picasaweb.google.com/lp... (The Documentary Secret United Nations ICC Meeting Papers Scanned Images)

https://sites.google.com/site/...

This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr Karadzic and others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.

Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United Nations member states having a substantial conversations, and, openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and others.

I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND judicial appointments, for monetary funding.

Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country’s proposal was not taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly loud and noticably strongly vocal manner, “Spain (my country) strongly believes if we contribute most financial support to the Hague’s highest court, that ought to give us and other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its decisions.”

((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ”totally legitimate topic” discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked! The idea was “let’s discuss it.” "It’s a great topic to discuss."

Some countries agreed with Spain’s propositions while others did not. The point here is, bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate topic instead of an illegitimate topic which it is in the meeting that I attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

In particular., since “Spain” was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of trading financial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdicts in front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, “Spain” must have already known by previous experience the topic of bribery was “socially acceptable” for conversation that day. They must have previously spoke about bribing the ICTY and ICC before in meetings; this is my take an international sociological honor student.

SPAIN’s diplomatic gesture of international justice insofar as, Serbia, in all of this is, disgusting morally!SPAIN HAS TAUGHT THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF AN “INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.”

I represented the state interests’ of the Former Yugoslavia, in Diplomat Darko Trifunovic’s absence in those meetings and I am proud to undertake this effort on Serbia’s behalf.
