Tyler Honeycutt Kills Himself After Shootout With Police

 A family member has confirmed that former Sacramento Kings player, Tyler Honeycutt (203 cm, UCLA’11) died on Saturday. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call from Honeycutt’s mother that he had been acting oddly on Friday night. When the police arrived on the scene, the 27-year-old UCLA product fired at them. The police returned fire but Honeycutt barricaded himself in a residence.

A S.W.A.T. team was called in to handle the matter. When they breached his barricade at 3:30 in the morning, they found the Ex-NBA player dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
