Ex Deputy Sheriff Arrested For Shooting An Unarmed Man In Willowbrook

A former Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy was charged Thursday with the on-duty shooting of an unarmed man in his vehicle in Willowbrook in June 2019. Andrew Lyons, 37, is set to be arraigned Friday on one felony count of voluntary manslaughter and two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, according to the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office. The criminal case stems from the June 16, 2019, shooting of 24-year-old Ryan Twyman. Lyons and another sheriff’s deputy responded to the apartment complex in Willowbrook and approached a parked vehicle where Twyman was sitting, with both deputies opening fire after Twyman put the car in reverse, according to the district attorney’s office. The car came to a stop nearby, and Lyons allegedly retrieved his semiautomatic assault rifle and shot into the vehicle after it stopped moving, the district attorney’s office said. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1989 TV show COPS was introduced, people h
