LOS ANGELES, CA — A man who was fatally shot by a homeless woman who broke into his Miracle Mile home this week has been identified as Michael Latt, a prominent film marketing consultant, according to reports.

Latt, 33, was shot and killed at his home in the 900 block of Alandele Avenue, just south of Park La Brea, at around 6 p.m. Monday. He was transported to a hospital, where he died, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

The Los Angeles Times identified Latt as the victim , citing law enforcement sources.

Jameelah Elena Michl, 36, who police say lived in her car, was arrested at the scene of the shooting. She was charged by prosecutors Wednesday with murder and burglary and is being held on $3 million bail, according to the LAPD.

Latt rose to prominence after working on marketing campaigns for Ryan Coogler's 2013 debut "Fruitvale Station." With a focus on diversity and social impact work, Latt went on to work on campaigns for "The Birth of a Nation," "If Beale Street Could Talk," "I Am Not Your Negro" and "Crazy Rich Asians."

He also worked for Imagine Justice, a non-profit founded by Common, which advocates for prison reform and served as a consultant for Ava DuVernay's ARRAY Now, and was marketing director for Blackout for Human Rights, a network of entertainment professionals founded by Coogler to speak out against killings by police.

Michelle Satter, Latt's mother and the founding senior director of artists programs at the Sundance Institute, posted on social media her son had "devoted his career to supporting artists, championing organizations that raised up artists of color, and leveraged storytelling for enduring change."
