The investigation into the murder of El Monte School official Augustin "Bobby" Salcedo has taken a nightmarish turn tonight.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting in Sunday's edition that Manuel Acosta, the lead investigator in the slaying in Mexico of Salcedo has been killed in a brutal ambush.

Times Reporters Tracy Wilkenson and Jill Leovy are reporting that it was not clear whether the death of Acosta will have any effect on the case, in which little progress had been reported. Authorities would not speculate on whether Acosta's killing was related to Salcedo's.

The details of the murder of Investigator Acosta are just being made public, but he was slain back on Jan. 15 by gunmen in a five-seat red pickup truck, the kind frequently used by drug traffickers. He was hit as he returned to his office from another deadly crime scene.

The Salcedo Family held an emotional interview with CNN on around earlier in January and predicted that those responsible for Bobby's murder would probably "never be caught." Little did they know, that just a couple of days after they made that profound public statement, that the main person repsonsible for solving this crime would be brutally murdered himself.

Acosta, 42, survived comatose and in critical condition but on Tuesday he died. According to Mexican official Acosta's injuries included multiple gunshot wounds to the chest and torso. His death was first was reported in the Milenio newspaper in a dispatch from Gomez Palacio and confirmed Saturday to the Times by Martin Chavez, spokesman for the city.

Here is the link to the entire article in the Sunday LA Times. This is a huge set back in this murder investigation, and it makes me wonder, if this crime will ever be solved.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
