He was swimming with his 10-year-old son, Aryeh, when they and several other swimmers were caught in a strong rip current near Venice Beach. “When last seen by the lifeguard, a wave had crashed over Mr. Shad Gaspard and he was swept out to sea,” Los Angeles police said in a statement Monday.
Gaspard was most known for his time as a member of “Cryme Time”, along with his partner JTG. Check out a clip of them in action:
