Detectives in California are hunting a porn movie actor suspected of killing a colleague and injuring two others with a samurai sword used as a film prop.
Stephen Hill, 34, fled with the weapon after the attack at a movie firm's production centre and tape warehouse in an area known as "Porn Valley" near Los Angeles.
The dead man has been named in reports as Herbert Wong, known in the industry as Tom Dong.
Police say one man was attacked and two others tried to intervene. Mr Wong was stabbed in the chest and died in hospital.

A porn actor wanted in California for allegedly murdering a colleague with a samurai sword has jumped to his death after a standoff with police.
Stephen Hill plunged around 50ft off a sheer rock face after being stunned with a taser gun.
Officers from Los Angeles Police Department had been negotiating with him for several hours on Saturday.
Television footage of the incident showed Hill scrambling off the edge of the cliff feet first as police moved in.
"He jumped down off the cliff after he was tased," LAPD spokesman Bruce Borihanh said.
It is unclear if the 34-year-old died from being tasered, the fall or possibly landing on the sword he had with him. An investigation is under way.

Stupid pigs.
Am I mistaken or do the pigs approach the body with guns drawn even though he has fallen down the cliff.

Makes about as much sense as sending SWAT teams in when someone calls 911 saying that their neighbor might want to commit suicide.
I can just hear the commando wanna-be rambos yelling at the suicidal person:
Don't kill yourself or we'll shoot!
This actually happened in my town. I have to ask... what the ---- were they thinking?
Why did they taser a guy who couldn't possibly hurt anyone but himself?
