Former UCLA basketball star Tyler Honeycutt is dead following a standoff with the police.
Los Angeles Police Department revealed that, a male suspect in his 20s, later identified as Honeycutt, was involved in an "Officer-involved shooting" at Riverside Drive and Tyrone Avenue in Sherman Oaks, California.
