Slain Youth Identified as Councilwoman’s Son
A teen-ager whose bullet-riddled body was found in a car trunk outside a Beverly Hills landmark last week has been identified as the son of Malibu City Councilwoman Missy Zeitsoff.
Police found the body of Justin Zeitsoff, 17, of Los Angeles early last Friday in a car that had been parked outside the gates of the city-owned Greystone Mansion for at least 24 hours, Beverly Hills Police Lt. Frank Salcido said.
Salcido said the youth had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and that a coroner had determined he died as the result of a single gunshot to the chest. Police declined to discuss where or when the shooting may have taken place, or to comment on a motive.
