Did James Handy’s suspect call 911?

Chilling 911 call reported

Police received a disturbing emergency call shortly before 9:30 a.m. from a man who said he was responsible for the stabbing of Top Gun: Maverick actor James Handy.

What police said happened

The reporting describes the call as taking place while authorities were responding to the stabbing at Handy’s Los Angeles-area home. The 911 call is characterized as a chilling confession, and it came immediately before or around the time law enforcement arrived.

Who the caller was

The summaries connect the caller to the suspect in the case: James Handy was alleged to have been killed by his girlfriend’s son, identified in coverage as Michael Gledhill. The emergency call is presented as coming from a man who claimed involvement in Handy’s death.

Why this detail matters

Emergency-call information can shape how investigators and the public understand timing and responsibility in a fast-moving violent incident. In this case, the alleged confession made during the call adds a stark layer to the timeline leading up to Handy being found.

What’s still unclear

The provided summaries do not give the specific motive for the killing, nor do they include additional context from the call beyond its reported confession. As the case proceeds, additional information—such as evidence collected on scene or statements from investigators—would be necessary to determine what precisely happened before and during the attack.
