Yes, for the most part
Jesse James Hollywood (changed to Johnny Truelove in the film) was a drug dealer and fugitive. He allegedly kidnapped and ordered the murder of Nicholas Markowitz (changed to Zach Mazursky).
Ryan Hoyt (changed to Elvis Schmidt ), a "posse member" of Jesse James Hollywood, has been convicted of the slaying of Nick Markowitz on August 9, 2000. Hoyt reportedly owed Hollywood money for drugs and was offered the opportunity to kill Markowitz as a way of erasing his debt. Hoyt was convicted of 1st degree murder and was sentenced to death. He currently is on death row at San Quentin State Prison in California.
Jesse James Hollywood escaped California. He was shown on America's Most Wanted on June 12th, 2004 and again on April 2 and March 12, 2005. Hollywood was then found to be living in Saquarema, Brazil. American authorities worked with Brazilian agents and found out that Hollywood was supposed to meet a cousin in a mall. He was arrested by Interpol agents in Saquarema, Brazil on March 8, 2005, and was returned to the United States on March 10, 2005. He is currently awaiting trial in California, starting after 2007. If found guilty, he could face the death penalty.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU8au
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

It's based on the kidnapping and killing of nick markowitz by Jesse James Hollywood. In real life, Nick's older half brother, Ben, owed Hollywood some money for drugs. When he didn't pay, Hollywood went to vandalize the Markowitz's home, but saw Nick on the street. He took Nick partying in Santa Barbara for days, hoping to use him as ransom to get his money. When he found out that kidnapping would give him a bigger sentence, he had Nick killed. It's a really tragic story.

It was based on a story shown on either Dateline NBC, or 48 Hrs a few months back. I wish I could help you more, but the televsion program was probably better than the Hollywood version of what actually happened.

Jesse James Hollywood. A guy born to a wealthy family who probably thought he was above the law. He ordered a murder and then fled the country. Of course everything they do for a movie is usually changed to either add or take away from the facts.
