Two reader comments about Marc Bayar
Marc Bayar was out collecting rent from a T-shirt warehouse on Sunset when he was shot and killed. Bayar was apparently a very religious man and was a confirmed rabbi as well. See the link for more details.

Exactly why this murder/suicide happened is unknown. It's probably fair to assume Bayar and Pak were arguing about the rent but it doesn't really explain why the argument escalated to the level it did.
