‘Serial slingshot shooter’ found dead days after he’s arrested for terrorizing neighborhood


An 81-year-old man who was arrested near Los Angeles Thursday for tormenting neighbors by being a “serial slingshot shooter” died just one day after his release from jail.

Azusa police said Prince Raymond King was released from jail custody on May 28, and died the next day, May 29, at his home from natural causes. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner attributed his death to heart disease.

Authorities were first called to King’s home after neighbors turned to police regarding their “quality of life,” complaining that King was breaking windows, windshields and nearly hitting people with ball bearings. 

Nearly a dozen residents came forward and said that King had terrorized the neighborhood for ten years.
