REAL ESTATE NEWS — DTLA has a personal relationship connection to the man who blew himself up in his motorhome. An L.A. entertainment executive is tied to the suspected Nashville Bomber. | Blog Video
Michelle Swing, a downtown L.A. resident and artist development director at AEG Presents, was reportedly given two houses by Anthony Quinn Warner, who has been identified as the perpetrator and victim of the Christmas morning bombing in Nashville, which devastated a city block. In that bombing incident, a motorhome was parked on the street and was making audio announcements of warnings to the public to evacuate the area. It also reportedly played a recording of Petula Clark’s 1965 pop hit, “Downtown.”
In January 2019, Warner reportedly gave Swing a $160,000 Nashville house via a quitclaim. The Antioch neighborhood is located 12 miles from downtown. Later, on November 25, Warner gave Swing another Antioch house worth $249,999.
It has not yet been revealed what the connection was between the 63-year-old Warner and Swing, who reportedly resides at the Gas Company Lofts in the Financial District, and has worked for AEG headquartered at LA LIVE in Downtown Los Angeles.
Swing has not yet responded to Loft Blog requests for comment. So far, we have found no other information linking Anthony Quinn Warner to Downtown Los Angeles. | MORE
