Police are searching for suspect Trent William Millsap in connection to the fatal stabbing of NASCAR's Bobby East

NASCAR star Bobby East was fatally stabbed at a gas station in California last week, and police are still searching for the suspect in his killing.

East, a three-time United States Auto Club (USAC) National Champion driver in USAC Silver Crown and Midgets, died Wednesday after being stabbed in the chest at a 76 gas station on Westminster Blvd. in Westminster, California, according to the USAC and police.

"East was phenomenal in USAC National Sprint Cars as well, most notably on pavement tracks," the USAC said in a Friday statement. "He tallied 15 wins in the series, with the first coming in 2003 at Ohio’s Mansfield Motorsports Speedway. He also prevailed at the Milwaukee Mile in 2005 in what remains as the last USAC Sprint Car race held on a one-mile track."

Who made the decision to release this monster?
Credit to the LEOs who ended the threat in a way the politicians can’t undo.

"Westminster is majority Vietnamese in population, like Garden Grove"

Plurality yes, but definitely not majority.

Persons of Vietnamese ancestry are the lone Asians who come close to voting Republican (as a group), and both of these areas reflected that fact in 2020 by moving sharply towards Trump.

Garden Grove, CA demographics and election results

Westminster, CA demographics and election results

Nowadays the rest of once-nice Orange County -- up through the 1980s or so it was the ultimate paragon of conservatism and was therefore reviled by the media and other liberals -- doesn't do nearly as well as these 2 cities, but there are still some good areas.

Not much in the way of details of what precipitated the stabbing. Was it just a random encounter or an argument that escalated? Curious to know the circumstances behind this fatal encounter.

Yes, I am generalizing, but just about anyone with the facial and neck tattoos that the suspect has is probably someone who should be avoided if at all possible.

Dont tatoo parlors have an obligation to report nut cases like this?

Certainly one of these artists must have something to say about the guy after hours upon hours of inking him. No?

From the photo, the murderer looks like another rave drug boy who became addicted to meth.
