Murder of Bobby Salcedo: Arrangements still being made to bring slain El Monte School Board Member's remains home from Mexico; Funeral Services are Pending -- KCAL/KCBS News Reports

Here is an Update on the tragic murder of El Monte School Board Member Bobby Salcedo from Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 at 4:35 p.m.

(Los Angeles, CA)

KCBS 2 and KCAL 9 News here in Los Angeles are reporting this afternoon that Betzy Salcedo, the wife of the El Monte school board member abducted and killed in her Mexican hometown on New Years Eve says they knew traveling south of the border came with risks.

Mrs. Salcedo says over the years she's watched as the northern city of Gomez Palacio became more violent. Still, she says "you never think this kind of thing can happen . . . to innocent people."

Augustin Roberto "Bobby" Salcedo was found dead Thursday, a day after being abducted by gunman along with five other men. All six were shot to death. More than 140 shell casings were found at the scene of the murder according to Mexican law enforcement officials.

Arrangements are being made to repatriate Salcedo's body to the United States from Mexico, and funeral/memorial services have not been annouced.

The 33-year-old was an assistant principal and a two-term school board member in El Monte.

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.”
