Long Beach, CA

Police have a double murder on their hands in Long Beach this weekend, and this case appears to already have twists and turns developing, and no suspects so far.

Here are the facts from the Long Beach Police Department's Media Division.
Last night, (Saturday, May 28, 2011, shortly after 9:30 p.m) members of the California Highway Patrol responded to a report of a vehicle on the northbound 405 freeway, just north of the Long Beach Boulevard on-ramp, (south of the 710 freeway interchange) was containing the bodies of two deceased subjects inside.

Officers from the Long Beach Police Department also responded to the scene to investigate.

When the officers arrived, they discovered the bodies of two male adults, who were deceased from gunshot wounds, inside of a light colored SUV that was pulled over the right shoulder of the freeway.

All northbound lanes of a busy interstate were closed after the bodies of two murder victims were found inside a vehicle on the freeway.

Tonight Long Beach Police homicide detectives are trying to determine where the actual double murder took place, including the scenario that it could have taken place somewhere else, and the car abandoned on the freeway.

Late this afternoon, the Los Angeles Times reported that the victims are Reginald Watson Sajonas, 37, of Anaheim, and Derek Alexander Pouono, 36, of Long Beach.

Traffic was a nightmare on the 710 Saturday night between the heavily traveled northbound lanes of the freeway were shut down between Atlantic Avenue and the 710 freeway interchange for several hours.

So, now the Long Beach Police need the help of the community to help them in their investigation.

Anyone who may have any information regarding this crime is asked to contact Long Beach Police Homicide Detectives Mark McGuire or Mark Bigel at (562) 570-7244. Anonymous tips may also be submitted via text or email at www.longbeach.gov/police.

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.”
