Machista Bar in San Pedro
Councilmember McOsker on Machista Shooting Arrest:
“Thanks to the great work of the South Bureau Homicide Detectives and the community members who came forward to report tips, LAPD arrested the alleged shooter at the Machista Bar in San Pedro last Thursday (March 7), and she has been charged by the District Attorney’s office. This arrest is important to both the family and friends of Tyrone Tyars and our entire community, which has been deeply disturbed by this senseless act of violence. Tyrone’s young life was cut far too short and the pain that his partner, children, loved ones, and friends have gone through is unimaginable. It is my hope that this arrest brings accountability and justice to his memory.”
