RIP Mayor-Elect Gerald Washington
I'm originally from the city of Westlake. I lived there for 36 years and I've only been gone for 2 years now. Gerald Washington was a very good man. I, as are the citizens of Westlake, shocked and very saddened by his tragic death. Westlake is a small town and it's a close knit community. I can't imagine anyone wanting to harm "Wash" as he was known locally. He would have been a great mayor, no question about it. Westlake is a town of good people though and Wash was one of the best. People shouldn't rush to judgment in this case. The lead investigator with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, Gary "Stitch" Guillory, was one of Wash's best friends and I know that he'll not rest until he knows the truth of what's happened. Westlake has lost one of it's best through this tragedy. May God bless the memory of Gerald "Wash" Washington and give his family strength and peace during this time of tremendous loss.
"The Calcasieu Coronor's Office is performing an autospy to determine the cause of death."
I'm thinking lead poisoning.
The first BLACK Mayor-elect, how about that..... sounds...no, is VERY SUSPICIOUS to me!
