    Lee was the main guitarist and a composer on the Ozzy Osbourne albums “Bark at the Moon” and “The Ultimate Sin.” He was fired in 1987 and replaced by Zakk Wylde.

    Lee would go on to be a member of bands Badlands and most recently his own Jake E. Lee’s Red Dragon Cartel.

    “As the incident is under police investigation, no further comments will be forthcoming,” his rep’s statement concluded.

    Sounds more like what profilers call a random thrill kill and his lucky ass survived it GOD SPEED SIR. The police need to get the FBI involved because this is just as bad as a actual serial killer with no marandi.

    Maybe he's getting ready to release a rap album and this was planned for street cred.
