National: Store Owner Could Face Life in Prison; TMZ Says Rihanna Photo Was Legally Obtained

February 21st, 2009

Store owner could face life in prison. A 69-year-old shop owner will appear in court March 3 after he allegedly shot a man for peeing on his building. Leroy Moon, who runs Detroit’s Asian Fisheries, is charged with killing Shawn Johnson, 36, early this week. Johnson, an elementary school janitor, apparently stopped outside Moon’s business about 7 p.m. When Johnson began relieving himself, Moon reportedly told him to stop and called for another man to bring a gun. Johnson is said to have walked off Moon’s property, while still urinating, when Moon pushed him and then shot. Neighbors say the business owner’s alleged behavior is out of his character, and that he has even given food to the neighborhood needy.

TMZ says Rihanna photo was legally obtained. A popular TV show and celebrity news Web site obtained a controversial photo without breaking the law, producers say. While Los Angeles Police investigated how a head shot of singer Rihanna wound up on TMZ’s Web site Thursday, the companion Fox show broadcast the image again Friday evening. Rihanna is shown with her eyes closed, bruised and beaten in the face, after she was allegedly attacked by her romantic associate Chris Brown on the night of the Grammy Awards. But the LAPD says it would never release a photo of a domestic violence victim and wants to know how TMZ got the image. TMZ posted the Web photo under the caption “Rihanna – The Face of a Battered Woman.” The show’s and site’s main producer, Harvey Levin, is a lawyer.
