ALTADENA --

Tragedy has hit the campus of famed John Muir High School in Pasadena.

Beloved student athlete Brandon Jackson, 18, has been slain in a senseless drive by shooting Saturday night.

Image via WikipediaHis murder has outraged many in Pasadena and the Muir High School campus is in a state of shock this week.

Many who knew the well mannered Jackson are asking for help and answers on why this violent crime took place, and who is responsible.

Jackson played football on the Muir High School Varsity team.

He was walking on the street at the 300 block of West Palm at around 9 p.m. this past Saturday night, when he was called over to an "unidentified" car. Then, a suspect or "suspects" inside that car took out a gun, and striking Jackson in the upper body.

Tonight justice for the young man is being sought. The Pasadena Police Department is looking for those responsible. An aggressive investigation is now being conducted.

Brandon Jackson was a smart student. He was carrying a 3.0 GPA (that's a B Average) and he had lost his mother in 2009 who passed away after a short illness. He was literally just beginning to find himself as a young man. Tonight, WE need to help find those responsible.

If you have any information, PLEASE, do the RIGHT thing. Call the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4545.

If you have a special memory or thought about Brandon, please feel free to leave a comment here on my blog below this post. So sad. Tonight, I pray for everyone who knew Brandon and his family.

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.”
