A woman arrested on suspicion of using a baseball bat to beat her boyfriend’s mother to death is the daughter of actor Ray Sharkey, who succumbed to complications from AIDS after a career marred by drug abuse.
Cecelia Sharkey, 26, was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder Saturday, hours after she allegedly struck her boyfriend’s mother in the head with a baseball bat, said Sgt. James Harper of the Los Angeles Police Department.
The attack, which occurred in the backyard of a Reseda home, was triggered by a dispute, Harper said. The victim, whose identity was not released, was taken to Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead, according to the L.
