NASCAR Star Bobby East Stabbed to Death at Southern California Gas Station

Westminister is a city in Orange County California, which borders the hellscape of Gascónistan, where Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has implemented social-justice polices that exacerbate crime and homelessness.

Sadly, a young NASCAR star was murdered in that city just a few days ago by a transient man who had an outstanding parole warrant.

NASCAR star Bobby East, 37, died after being stabbed at a California gas station.Police are looking for Trent William Millsap, 27, who allegedly stabbed the three-time US Auto Club (USAC) champ in the chest while he was fueling up in Westminster on Wednesday.East was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.’The victim was found on the ground suffering from a serious stab wound to the chest area,’ Westminister Police said in a statement. ‘Officers attempted life saving measures until OCFA paramedics arrived and transported the victim to a local trauma center, where the victim succumbed to his injury.’Police said Millsap, a transient who frequents the area, is also accused of stabbing another man at the 76 gas station before allegedly attacking East.Officials said Millsap, who has distinct tattoos all over his body, should be considered armed and dangerous. The homeless man also has an outstanding parole warrant.

The transient was then shot by police two days later. A police dog was injured during the incident.

Millsap was killed Friday when a SWAT team was serving a search warrant and shots rang out, police said.“No officers were injured; however, a police K-9 sustained a single gunshot wound that was not life threatening.”Photos of Millsap showed him covered with tattoos on his head, face, neck, chest, arms and hands. Police had said he was considered “armed and dangerous.”Millsap, who was reported earlier Saturday to still be on the lam, died at a local trauma center.

Sadly, because of California’s political leadership refusing to seriously address the combination of mental illness, drug abuse, and homelessness, another life has been tragically cut short.

East won 22 USAC National Midget feature wins, was a native of Torrance, California, and the son of USAC Hall of Famer car builder Bob East.The younger East also was a three-time champion on the US Auto Club circuit and competed in the Xfinity Series and the Truck Series in 2008. East also won the USAC Silver Crown championships in 2004, 2012 and 2013.

Here’s hoping the recall signature phase is successful and that Los Angeles area voters have the chance to change the course before the chaos of Gascónistan spreads further to claim more lives.
