Detectives Seek Additional Victims of Sexual Assault Suspect NR20055dm

Los Angeles: On February 14,
2020, Southwest Area officers arrested David Velazquez for Sexual
Assault.

Velazquez worked as a tattoo artist at a tattoo shop located in the
4300 block of Crenshaw Boulevard. He has been named as the suspect
in multiple sexual assault reports that also occurred at the same

reports.
