Los Angeles Police Department Det. Joel Price said Steve Driver was both working and living at the offices of Ultima DVD Inc., where he did production work and acted in several porn movies.
According to investigators, the possible reason for the attack was that he faced the loss of his job and eviction from the office. They think he may have attacked his co-workers out of rage.
Homicide Det. Joel Price said Hill attacked one man in a back room of the business with a machete-style weapon. Two colleagues heard loud screams and rushed to the man’s aid.
Hill turned on them and swung the weapon repeatedly, cutting and gashing both men, police said. All three victims were rushed to Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where one was pronounced dead. The other two were treated.
The man slashed to death was described as a 30-year-old Canoga Park resident. Authorities have not released his name, but the victim appears to have performed in numerous adult films, including at least two with the suspect.
A Glendale-based production firm issued a statement on Twitter saying the victim had starred in its movies. An employee at the office confirmed the Twitter post to The Times.
Late Wednesday, police were searching for Hill, who fled in the Toyota RAV4 with license plate 5YTC423. Hill performed in adult films under the name Steve Driver.
Sources familiar with the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly said Hill had a history of violence that included a 1999 assault-with-a-firearm conviction for threatening to kill one of his college instructors for not giving him an A.
Hill, of Riverdale, Md., allegedly told the University of Maryland instructor that he was “a mobster and would dismember the instructor’s body if he didn’t get the grade,” according to a 1999 story in the Washington Post.? (Source)
The Los Angeles Police Department is now searching for Steve Hill or Steve Driver and further investigation is on going at the crime scene.
