A tragic day ends in La Mirada.

I have been reporting all day long on for Los Cerritos Community News.... We now have a "tragedy" to report on a normally quiet tree lined street in beautiful La Mirada. These situations are never easy to cover, and today was no exception. I am still waiting for the name of the man who apparently took his own life. Also drove me nuts that the LA Times, and even the LA County Sheriff's Department Media Department reported hat his actually took place in Norwalk. It took place in La Mirada. BIG difference. Shame on media "big boys" in LA for NOT reporting this situation all day long. Brian Hews, my Publisher at LCCN talk daily about the "lack of coverage" from television news outlets in Southern California in the 562 area code. Wake up, news dudes....time for some accountability and a "plan...."

The day long drama of a barricaded suspect who held members of the Norwalk Sheriff's Department at bay for nearly nine hours on Aleciras Drive in La Mirada has come to a tragic end with the death of the gun toting man from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Los Cerritos Community News is in the process of confirming the identity of the man who was eventually found lifeless inside his garage located at 15966 Aleciras Drive at around 4:50 p.m. by law enforcement officials.The ordeal began at around 7:23 am Friday morning when Norwalk Sheriff’s Station deputies received a call about "shots fired" at the location.
Janet Winfrey, a neighbor in the immediate area told Los Cerritos Community News early Friday morning that she had heard "several gun shots" and then "everyone just shut their doors and stayed inside."

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.”
