A former Los Angeles police officer accused of killing three people after posting a revenge manifesto online remains on the loose in California. On Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department announced it would reopen a probe into the incident that caused the former officer, Christopher Dorner, to lose his job. Dorner was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for making false statements after he complained his training officer had kicked a mentally ill suspect during an arrest. In a statement announcing the new investigation, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said Dorner’s claims would be re-examined in light of the department’s legacy of racism and abuse. At a news conference, LAPD Commander Andrew Smith said the LAPD is not seeking to appease Dorner, but encouraging transparency.

Andrew Smith: “He’s not opening it because of the accusations or because of the musings of someone who’s a—who’s a multiple murderer now. He’s doing it because he wants to ensure that the public knows that the Los Angeles Police Department is fair and transparent.”

On Sunday, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced a record $1 million reward for information leading to Dorner’s capture.
