The Extended Stay Hotel in La Mirada was a wild scene this morning.

One man is dead from injuries he suffered from a "taser stun gun" administered by deputies after an "altercation" in the hotel parking lot.

Norwalk/La Mirada Sheriff's are claiming that they were attacked before they "tasered" the man who attacked them in the hotel parking lot off of Firestone Boulevard at the Firestone Frontage Road.

Here are the details of the situation from records from the LA County Sheriff's Department and from other media outlets:

48-year-old man is dead after being "tazed" by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies after he allegedly attacked and threatened to kill them at the Extended Days Hotel here in La Mirada.

Two deputies were patrolling the area near Firestone Boulevard and the 5 Freeway in La Mirada just before 1 a.m. on Saturday morning and found two men acting "strangely" when they were with a dog behind a pickup truck in the parking lot.
As one of the men put the dog into the cab of the truck, he elbowed one of the deputies and tried to knock the other down before running away.
Deputies chased him through the parking lot as he zig-zagged between parked cars and appeared to reach for his waistband, leading them to believe he was armed.
The victim then allegedly "attacked" the deputies a second time, knocking each of them to the ground and trying to disarm one of them during the struggle.
The deputies said the man threatened to kill them before one of the deputies shot him with a Taser stun gun to subdue and handcuff him.
The man became unresponsive and deputies administered CPR until paramedics arrived.
The man died at a local hospital.
The name of the man killed has not been released due to pending notification of family members.

As in all officer-involved deaths, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, the sheriff's Internal Affairs Bureau and the Office of Independent Review also responded to monitor the investigation.

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.”
