Los Angeles Police shot and killed Ryan Twyman around 7:30 p.m yesterday in the parking lot of an apartment complex located on 132nd and San Pedro. A vigil was held this evening in honor of Twyman, and was also attended by Black Lives Matter Los Angeles.

An investigation is currently taking place to find out what ultimately sparked the fatal run-in.
According to Black Lives Matter, Twyman’s friend was badly beaten and Twyman’s girlfriend was also taken into custody. “During that contact with two individuals, a deputy-involved shooting occurred,” the deputy added. “One individual was struck in the upper torso and later was pronounced dead at the scene.” Twyman’s death was the third officer-involved shooting of the night and no firearm was discovered at the scene. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department is currently investigating the death. (The Hollywood Unlocked)
