On behalf of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, we are deeply saddened to announce the death of Deputy Daniel Okamoto. Daniel was tragically killed in an off-duty traffic collision in the early morning hours on Friday, April 12, 2024.

Our LASD family is mourning his loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and partners during this difficult time. May Daniel rest in peace.
