Narrative:
On 10-30-11, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau conducted a preliminary investigation, along with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office regarding the sudden unexplained death of Griffen Kramer. Griffen was found unresponsive in a friend’s bedroom in the City of Agoura Hills.

The initial investigation indicated Griffen had possibly died from a drug overdose, which will be confirmed once toxicology reports are completed. During the on-going investigation, Homicide Investigators were able to identify several persons involved in narcotic activities who interacted with Griffen in the hours preceding his death. As a result, Investigators obtained search warrants for several locations in an effort to collect evidence related to narcotics activities, as well as evidence regarding any individuals directly related to the events leading to Griffen’s death.

This morning’s multi-location search warrant operation involved 54 personnel and the following LASD personnel:

* LASD Homicide Bureau

Two additional juveniles were arrested on misdemeanor charges and two adults were cited out for misdemeanor offenses. Due to the deplorable conditions at the locations, six children were taken into protective custody by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services Response Team.
