Roderick Poole (2007-05-13)

Roderick Poole, 45, a white man, was stabbed at 1650 N. Highland Ave. in Hollywood on Sunday, May 13, and died at 10:06 p.m.

He was stabbed in the parking lot of Mel's drive-In at about 9:35 p.m. Investigators believe Poole, who was walking with his wife, got into an argument with a woman driving a car who nearly hit him. They exchanged words, and the woman and her husband, who was a passenger in the car, attacked him, stabbing Poole several times with a knife.

Police worked through the night and arrested the pair, who are both Latino and from South Los Angeles. She was apprehended at her home; he was taken into custody at a relative's house. They are Michael Sheridan, 25, and his wife, Angela Sheridan, 24. They are being held on about $1million dollars bail each, and face possible murder charges.

A friend who contacted The Homicide Report described Poole as a native of England, and a skilled guitar player and guitar teacher.

Anyone with additional information on what happened is asked to call LAPD Hollywood detectives Vickie Bynum and Larry Cameron at (213) 972-2910 or (213) 972-2905.
