LOS ANGELES (AP)- Police are looking for a man who shot and killed a motel guest in the parking lot after he got the last available room.
Officer Mike Lopez says the shooting occurred early this morning at the Cornett Motel in South Los Angeles.
The victim -- 33-year-old Gerald Anthony Jones --had driven some companions to the motel and one of them rented a room.
Police say Jones was still in the parking lot when a man called him over and then shot him in the chest with a blue-steel handgun.
The gunman had apparently just been turned away at the desk because the motel was full.
