LOS ANGELES—A former Los Angeles Police Department officer who was charged with committing lewd acts on four young boys at his Covina-area home has died while in custody, officials said Monday.
Sheriff’s department officials said only that Paul Razo, 46, died of medical complications, but no further information was released.
Razo was arrested May 10, five days after he was charged by prosecutors with eight counts of lewd acts on a child. He was scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on multiple days last week, and again on Monday, but the hearing was repeatedly delayed for unspecified reasons.
He was being held in lieu of $2.5 million bail at the sheriff’s Inmate Reception Center in downtown Los Angeles, according to inmate records….
