Actor James Handy, of 'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'Jumanji,' stabbed to death in Los Angeles

Los AngelesAP —

Police have arrested the son of actor James Handy’s girlfriend in his death after he was found stabbed in the chest in Los Angeles, law enforcement said Thursday.

Officers responded to a home Wednesday morning after a 911 caller said, “I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin,” according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

They found the 81-year-old who appeared in films like “Jumanji” and “Top Gun: Maverick” in the front yard stabbed in the chest and unconscious, according to police. He was taken to the hospital and later pronounced dead.

Michael Gledhill, 44, who is Handy’s girlfriend’s son and lives at the home with his mother, told officers that he was the person they were looking for, according to police.

With one exception, everyone I’ve ever known in my long life and career who was murdered, was killed by someone with whom they were acquainted.

The one exception is the lady from Philly who was murdered by that Long Island serial killer.
