WHITTIER - A public vigil and memorial will take place on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at Laurel Elementary School for the Edgar and Cynthia Hernandez, the two students that were killed along with two other family members -- a brother and sister -- in that horrific crash on Sunday on the 5 Freeway in Newhall.

The vigil will take place in front of Laurel Elementary School, 13550 E. Lambert Road in Whittier. The community is invited to attend, and encouraged to show their support by wearing white to the vigil.

The school's Twitter page (listed as laurelelem) posted this tweet on Wednesday night:

"Vigil tomorrow 4/15 at 630pm. Please wear white."

Grief counselors have been a the Whittier elementary school all week helping students and staff deal with the loss of second-grader Edgar, 8, and his sister, third-grader Cynthia, 9, and their sister 5-year-old Xochitl and 12-year-old cousin Luis Villegas of Oakland.

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.”
