I wanted to post this incredible shoot out that occurred over in front of the tony "Guys and Dolls" night club over in my old stomping grounds of West Hollywood. One of my peeps sent me this and wanted to pass it along.

Here are the details. The clip is from our pals over at Eyewitness News in Los Angeles, and Reporter Leo Stallworth did a great job on this story. Also, credit to TMZ for capturing this raw footage on tape of the actual shootout.

As I currently sit in one of the most violent areas in Kingston, Jamaica, the calm around here is nothing compared to the madness in We Ho. So, I wanted to post this.

Valet driver killed in W. Hollywood shooting

A valet driver was killed after a shooting outside a West Hollywood nightclub early Monday morning. Two others were injured. A camera from TMZ.com captured the chaos.

According to detectives, the shooting on the 8700 block of Beverly Boulevard erupted at about 2:45 a.m. after an argument outside Guys & Dolls, a popular celebrity nightclub.

Investigators say three people were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and one of them later died. The victim's name has not been released, but police said he was a parking valet who appears to be an innocent victim in the shooting.

Family members of the slain valet sobbed near the scene of the shooting.

"He was a very nice person. He was a very good dad," said Leticia Tellez, a close family friend of the victim. Tellez said the victim's wife and son witnessed the fatal shooting.

"She couldn't believe that that was happening to her," she said.

A witness who did not want to be identified said she heard the gunfire and thought it was a drive-by shooting.

"It wasn't somebody standing in the club and shooting," she said.

A motive for the shooting has not yet been determined, and no arrests have been made.

Detectives said they have interviewed several witnesses, but so far, they have no strong leads. Anyone with information is urged to call the L.A. County Sheriff's Department at (323) 890-5500.

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.”
