CLEVELAND, Aug 19, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- An ongoing beef between neighbors over a loud stereo allegedly ended in the deaths of two well-known and beloved Cleveland artists, a report says.
Masumi Hayashi, 60, a world-renowned photographer and professor, and John Jackson, 51, a respected sculptor, painter and woodworker, were allegedly shot to death by Jacob Cifelli, 29, who lived with his mother in the same building as Hayashi, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Saturday.
Investigators recovered a .40-caliber gun at the scene.
It was Cifelli's mother, Jan, who discovered the two bodies inside their three-story condominium building, police and neighbors told the newspaper.
She happened upon Hayashi on the third floor and Jackson, who was near the building's entrance. Both victims had been shot at least three times, and both victims were shot at least once in the head, the county coroner said.
Cifelli, who was described as "eccentric" in the newspaper, returned a short time later and was handcuffed and led away by police.
