Mayor Syd,
In regards to RICHARD LEE MURPHY, we have questions and we graciously elected you to be our BATON ROUGE MAYOR, so we expect and demand some answers.
You are over the BR City Police so please do your job and find these answers:
1. Why was Richard Murphy not arrested after his release from hospital, minor injuries if any, when he HAS AN ACTIVE WARRANT OUT FOR HIS ARREST.
2. why has it been 9 days for Tox report and when was blood sample taken. Date and time please
3. Alcohol or not, he is responsible for vehicular homicide on 2 counts. So why is he free right now
4. How did BR police see accident or get there within seconds of it happening.
5. Was he being chased by police
, i think so.. find out. DO NOT LET THIS BE A COVER UP.
6. Your answers will be verified and if you are HONEST, you won't mind that.
7. Why are you allowing BR Media to continue to post videos and even show my brother's license plate, i have NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. The family DEMANDS respect and ANSWERS.
We are great LAW ABIDING, not like Murphy, who live in your hometown and voted you into office because we were tired of the BR bull and looks like it continues
8. Please do your job and answer our questions
PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THE POLITIC GAME WITH THE REST OF THE GOOD OLE BOYS, STAND AS WE HAVE ELECTED YOU AND STOP THE CORRUPTION AND COVER UPS OF THE BR POLICE DEPT AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Thank you
Lonnie Tarver

A great RB for LSU


Not to come off as insensitive but great isn't the word I would use to describe Murphy's time at LSU. He was a depth piece his entire 4 years here, like the 3rd or 4th RB on the depth chart any given year and hardly got any carries. By all accounts he was a good team leadership guy though, hence getting #18 his senior year, but that's really the only noteworthy thing about his time here.

That crash was the latest in Richard Murphy's mistakes. Hauling arse through a red light and fatally t-boning another vehicle isn't a mistake. It's vehicular homicide.
Does LSU TEAM CLEAN SWEEP defend X LSU football players too or only current ones?

In before one of the program sycophants blows in here defending and making excuses for Murphy. (He aint done Nuffin, huh? )

Shouldn’t he have directed that to the Chief of Police instead of the mayor?

Also, not sure how he expects the mayor to control the media in regards to point 7. It’s horrible what he is having to deal with but that letter/post is not the best way to handle it.

I wouldn't say "great running back". he never really carved a path at LSU. Was stuck behind alot of "good backs".

You’re such a fricking clown dude.

I’m not going to virtue signal for ANYBODY. You think that family is reading TD right now?

Once again, you’re trying your absolute best to dodge what people are trying to say to you and about you.

You started a random arse thread asking what the f*** Richard Murphy was up to these days. After a little time, and no real attention, you drop a nuke that the dude was intoxicated and got into a fatal accident and was at fault. Continued to say that you knew nothing while at the same time dropping tidbits of hearsay info.

frick you dude. You’re a fricking weirdo. Always have been on this site.

You acted like a complete jackass for this whole situation, but can’t handle it when people hold your feet to the fire about it. Absolute insanity in my opinion

Witnesses described the F250 driving errating and at a high rate of speed prior to the crash


PSA - People need to learn to slow down. Driving at high speeds is out of control. Everyone is in such a damn rush.

Not a lot that important to get somewhere 3 minutes sooner.

You should go back and read that thread if it wasn’t deleted


That dude is a socially awkward retard. He clearly has issues.



This may very well be true? I read the thread yesterday and I remembered R. Murphy as a player, so I read the entire thread.

Yes, the guy that started the thread knew the story, But his question was? why had it been over a week with no news report? Why was Murphy release without charges when he had another outstanding warrant? Why was toxicolgy taking so long? all valid questions.

I think he's probably a lurker/poster here and knows how TD runs with information (right or wrong), had a personal connection with the victims and was curious why this wasn't in the news.

just my .02

It's not that I can't handle it, it's that I genuinely don't give a frick about whatever is causing your vagina to bleed in every thread about this you little f@ggot.

I guess you could call him a loser since he’s the one who lost family members to reckless driving? I don’t know why you’d mock someone who just went through that?

That’s his brother, if you lost your wife you’ve been with your whole life and your Dad in a blink of an eye due to reckless driving incident what avenues of vindications or feelings would you have you clown.

The viewing was last night and service today for the Tarvers. RIP

Sources said a toxicology test is pending to determine whether Murphy was impaired at the time of the June 14 late afternoon crash on Main Street near the Interstate 110 overpass.

Might have been impaired

Murphy has a history of traffic infractions and other allegations, including driving under suspension, speeding, theft, and computer fraud.

The WAFB I-Team found an active bench warrant for Murphy’s arrest for failing to appear in court after he was cited for speeding in September 2025.

Theft and computer fraud, eh

He needs to do time for killing 2 people. But, I'm sure he'll just get a slap on the wrist like so many others
