Los Angeles, CA – An altercation involving Chatsworth girls basketball coach Kaio Lewis and a relative of a player occurred after a game against Taft on Friday night. The incident escalated into both physical and verbal confrontations, prompting an investigation by the Los Angeles School Police Department.
According to a statement from L.A. school police, “We are aware of an incident that occurred on Friday after a girls basketball game between Chatsworth and Taft. LAPD responded to this incident of an alleged verbal and physical altercation between two adults. This investigation is active, and L.A. School Police will take over as the lead primary investigative agency. In order to preserve the integrity of this investigation, no further details will be shared at this time.
