PARAMOUNT -
Update: 10:24 p.m.

Family and friends are showing a great outpouring of love and support tonight in wake of this tragic death that occurred early Monday morning.

Ed Lee is being remembered as a dedicated father, and friend and loving son who was "the life of the party."

I hope they find the 3 people responsible for this tragic accident and death.
RIP

We now know the name of the victim who died in that horrific "double-up" car crash early Monday morning at the Garfield Avenue on-ramp to the 105 Freeway.

The motorist killed has been id-ed as Edwin Sunmin Lee, 39 of Hacienda Heights. Lee is a former Los Angeles Police officer turned bail bondsman.

Lee retired from the Los Angeles Police Department in April 2005 after he confessed to a felony charge for filing a false police report. Lee died at the crash scene at 2:33 a.m., according to law enforcement.

It took nearly 30 minutes to extricate him from the vehicle. Several other news agencies are now reporting on this case.

The three men who were in the other car fled the scene and have not been located. They face various charges when they are arrested.

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.”
