Los Angeles County court records indicated Leonard Sr. recently filed for a restraining order against his son. Authorities have not confirmed whether the warrant was directly related to Wednesday’s arrest. The hearing is scheduled for June 15.

In November 2023, Leonard posted a heartfelt birthday message to his son on social media. “I’m very happy to be with my son Daniel this weekend!” Ray captioned the post. “I’m so proud of you!!! Happy birthday!!!”
