TORRANCE – A 22-year-old El Segundo man accused of fatally stabbing his former roommate was charged with murder today, the District Attorney’s Office announced.

Deputy District Attorney Haralambos Zoumberakis of the Torrance Branch Office said David Concool is expected to be arraigned this afternoon in Department 4 of Torrance Superior Court. Concool is charged in case No. YA080719.

Concool is charged with one count of murder with an allegation that he personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a knife.

Weeks before the murder, the victim, James Floyd Dukes, had asked the defendant to move out. Subsequently, the defendant allegedly took the victim’s vehicle without his permission. The victim had made arrangements with the defendant to get his car back on the day of the attack, the prosecutor said.

On March 30, Concool allegedly stabbed the victim multiple times at the corner of 165th Street and Firmona Avenue in Lawndale.

The recommended bail for Concool is $1 million. If convicted as charged, Concool faces life in prison with the possibility of parole.

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.”
