Daily Real Estate News | October 8, 2007 | Seller Accused of Shooting Real Estate Practitioner
A property owner is standing trial in El Cajon, Calif., for the death of a real estate practitioner, who was selling property the accused had inherited.

Michael Ray Jennison apparently shot James Magot, an associate with Willis Allen Real Estate in LaJolla, Calif., twice in the head. The men were reportedly arguing over competing offers to buy the condo.

A neighbor James O’Kane testified in Superior Court last week that Magot, who was a former Marine, was very aggressive. "He wanted things his way and he was hell-bound to get them," O'Kane said. "He was just right up in Mike's face."

If Jennison is found guilty, he could be sentenced to life in prison.
