DEWAYNE TODD KIMBLE: Felon Pleads Guilty to Murdering Stacie Victor, 32, and Sharon Shelby, 36

A DNA Chart.....

TORRANCE – A felon charged with capital murder in the 2002 death of a woman whose headless torso was found in an Inglewood alley and the 2005 murder of a 36-year-old Inglewood woman pleaded guilty today to both first-degree murders, the District Attorney’s office announced.

Dewayne Todd Kimble, who also admitted the special circumstance of multiple murders, was immediately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole by Torrance Superior Court Judge Mark Arnold, said Deputy District Attorney Todd Hicks.

“This was the best result considering the defendant’s mental state and the wishes of the families of both victims for justice and resolution of the case,” Hicks said.

Kimble, 45, pleaded guilty to the murder of Stacie Victor, 32, and Sharon Shelby, 36. Victor’s headless body was discovered on July 10, 2002. She was later identified through DNA.

Shelby’s body was discovered on June 26, 2005, in the parking lot of a strip mall near the Forum. Victor’s murder remained unsolved until 2005, when an investigation into Shelby’s murder implicated Kimble in both, Hicks said.

At one point, Kimble, whose prior convictions include rape, burglary and attempted murder, was secretly living at the Inglewood Women’s Club. When the illicit entry was later boarded up, he allegedly set fire to the building, causing extensive damage. He also was charged with assault of two women on separate occasions, including one at the Women’s Club.

In exchange for his plea, one count each of arson, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, intent to commit rape and second-degree robbery were dismissed.

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.”
