Mark Ruffalo was all smiles on set of his directorial debut film “Sympathy for Delicious” in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday morning. Walking near the movie trailers with a shaggy mop-haired Orlando Bloom, Ruffalo looked refreshed and glad to be back to work after his brother’s unfortunate death delayed the film’s start. Because of the delay, original starring actor James Franco had to be replaced by Orlando Bloom, who’s character was befitted with boots, suspenders, and black nail polish to go along with his wild hair while on set.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ cops plan to make an arrest in the death of Mark Ruffalo’s brother Scott next month.

Our sources would not say who will be arrested but said the person or persons will be charged with murder.

Scott Ruffalo died from a bullet wound to the head earlier this month in his Beverly Hills apartment. The two people in the room claim Scott was playing Russian Roulette. The L.A. County Coroner begs to differ, ruling the death a homicide.

The death of Mark Ruffalo’s younger brother has been ruled a homicide, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office said on Wednesday.

Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey told The Associated Press that an autopsy determined that someone shot Scott M. Ruffalo, 39, in the head.

He was found with a gunshot wound on Dec. 1; he died a week later after being released from life support.

Beverly Hills police arrested 26-year-old Shaha Mishaal Adham — one of Scott’s pals — after issuing an attempted murder warrant. She was later cleared after telling police she merely witnessed him playing a game of Russian Roulette.

Adham’s attorney, Ronald Richards, disputed the coroner’s claim.

“The only two eye witnesses to the shooting saw the same thing, a gunshot wound to the left side of the head, while one of them saw him pull the trigger,” Richards said in an e-mail to The AP. “They saw the gun in his left hand after the shot was fired.”

He said no gun residue had been found on Adham’s clothes and that police had not requested another meeting with her.

Police do not have any suspects in custody, nor do they have a motive for the shooting.

After his brother’s death, Mark Ruffalo released the following statement: “Mark Ruffalo and his family deeply appreciate the outpouring of prayers and support during this most difficult time of the passing of Scott Ruffalo, beloved son, brother and husband.”

Mark Ruffalo – who’s still reeling from this week’s tragic death of his brother, Scott – has dropped out of the indie drama Greenburg, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

He will likely be replaced by Ben Stiller in the film, written and directed by Noah Baumbach, says the trade paper.

No reason was given for the casting shakeup. But the news comes just three days after Scott Ruffalo succumbed to a gunshot wound he sustained Dec. 1.

In a statement after the death, Mark Ruffalo said that he and his family “deeply appreciate the outpouring of prayers and support during this most difficult time.”

TMZ has confirmed the suspect in the shooting death of Mark Ruffalo’s brother has told police Scott Ruffalo died during a game of Russian Roulette.

Shaha Mishaal Adham, who turned herself in yesterday to Bev Hills Police, said she went to Ruffalo’s apartment to pick up her Land Rover, which he had borrowed.

There was a mystery person also present (NOT Brian Scofield, the man who was named a “person of interest’ in the case) during the deadly game.

After Ruffalo reportedly shot himself in the head, Adham bolted and called her boyfriend, Brian Scofield, who called 911.

Shaha Mishaal Adham has been released by the Beverly Hills PD and cleared of any wrongdoing in the death of Scott Ruffalo.

Shaha Mishaal Adham, a suspect in the attempted murder of hairdresser Scott Ruffalo – who is the brother of actor Mark Ruffalo – is in police custody, PEOPLE has 
confirmed.

Adham, 26, turned herself in to Beverly Hills police on Monday. Police issued an attempted murder warrant for her arrest earlier on Monday. Adham is being held without bail.

Adham’s friend Brian Burton Scofield, 29, who is “a person of interest” in
 the case, also arrived at the police station with Adham. He was booked for a misdemeanor traffic warrant for past
 violations.

Scott Ruffalo, 39, was shot in the head on Dec. 1 at the condo where he lives on North Palm Drive in Beverly Hills.

A well-known hairdresser who worked in salons such as Kenneth George in 
Santa Monica and Giuseppe Franco in Beverly Hills, Ruffalo has had run-ins
 with the law in the past. In 2002, he was convicted for possession of a
 controled substance with intent to sell.

He is currently at a Los Angeles hospital where he is reportedly in critical 
condition.
