Edson Escalon, an 18-year old felony suspect wanted for attempted murder has been captured by Norwalk Sheriff’s early Tuesday morning after a routine traffic stop turned into a foot pursuit, the lock down of a local neighborhood, a K-9 Deputy biting the suspect, and an eventual arrest.
Norwalk Sheriff’s Captain Pat Maxwell, told Los Cerritos Community News that deputies patrolling near the 105 Freeway and Studebaker Road at around 3:20 a.m. spotted a suspect that matched the description of a man who was wanted in the connection of a December 28th shooting at The Torch Room Bar in Norwalk.
Maxwell said that deputies saw suspect Edson Escalon, 18, a resident of Norwalk driving as a passenger in a vehicle throughout the streets of Norwalk in the middle of the night Tuesday. Hours earlier, a $2 million arrest warrant was issued for the arrest of Escalon in connection with the Torch Room shooting incident.
Maxwell said after a short vehicle pursuit, Escalon jumped from his vehicle and then allegedly pointed a hand gun at officers.
Deputies opened up several rounds of gun fire at Escalon who eventually eluded them into a nearby neighborhood.
Maxwell said that the entire neighborhood was placed on lockdown for more than three hours from Studebaker Road west to Hoxie Avenue.
A K-9 unit was deployed to the scene in search of Escalon, and the dog eventually tracked down Escalon who was hiding in the rear of a residence at the 13100 block of Halcourt.
Escalon suffered dog bites, and was immediately taken into custody and transferred to a local hospital for treatment.

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.”
