Actor/producer Ashton Kutcher has remained silent on the Mother’s Day murder of the MTV employee who worked as music coordinator on his comedy show Punk’d.
Gabriel Ben-Meir, known to friends and family as Gabe, was shot “execution style” outside his apartment May 8. He died face down in a pool of his own blood on the sidewalk in front of his Los Angeles home. His body was found five hours after the 1 a.m. shooting by a man walking his dog.
But with Ben-Meir’s friends and family devastated, and many Los Angeles residents horrified, Kutcher has so far made no comment about the homicide.
And the Twitter-happy actor, who famously beat CNN in a race to 1 million followers in 2009, hasn’t tweeted anything about it.
It’s not, however, the first time that murder hits close to home for GI Jane
