Former @LASDHQ Undersheriff Timothy Murakami admitted yesterday that he had a Caveman deputy gang tattoo. He also said he knew about a deputy gang at the station he supervised as captain, and never investigated. More revelations in my story: lapublicpress.org/2024/03/fo…

.@cerisecastle is live with coverage of former Undersheriff Timothy Murakami's testimony on deputy gangs.
I’m here at Loyola Law School where former Undersheriff Timothy Murakami is testifying about deputy gangs for the @LACountyCOC. Murakami fought a subpoena to testify for about two years, and arrived an hour late this morning.
