Authorities have identified the man shot and killed with his own gun two weeks ago following a confrontation with Los Angeles police officers, but many of the details remain unknown, and the LAPD has not yet released video of the incident
.
Police said they were investigating a traffic infraction at roughly 11 p.m. that Friday when they pulled over Byrd, whose home is listed as Livonia, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta. As Byrd got out of the car, he was immediately confronted by the second officer, who was standing by the driver’s side door, Muniz said. When the officer attempted to restrain Byrd he “attempted to escape the officer’s hold, lunging himself forward,” an LAPD statement said.
The officers then moved the gun — a 9-millimeter semiautomatic — away and handcuffed Byrd. They reported finding one spent casing near the loaded weapon.
