Hunt Slayer as Cafe Man Dies in Lynwood
A complex murder case unfolds in Lynwood with Buddy Kirchner, 24, named by witnesses as the land wage analyst slayer. He allegedly shot Jack Argle Davis Jr., 31, a Dana Point restaurant operator, at the Fullerton Motel in Long Beach after a dispute over Mrs. Davis. Davis died at Tweedy Industrial Hospital after being shot multiple times. Kirchner fled in his 1948 Oldsmobile after the attack. Davis’s death leaves a son, Gary Duane, and his family tied to a prolonged inquiry by local police chief Paul W. Kerr.
