SAN PEDRO — The family of Tyrone Tyars (33) has filed a lawsuit after he was shot and killed inside the Machista Bar bar in San Pedro, Jan. 20. After an altercation inside the bar between several parties, a woman fired multiple rounds, striking three patrons, police said. Tyars died at the scene.

A 35-year-old woman and a 44-year-old man were also shot and transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

Channel 7 News reported Tyers family members said that he went to the bar after receiving an urgent call from his girlfriend, indicating she was in trouble and needed his help.
