Family of a 24-year-old man shot and killed by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies and the man who was with him filed a claim Wednesday for damages against the county, alleging that the men were unarmed when deputies opened fire on them in the parking lot of a Willowbrook apartment complex.
Ryan Twyman and Daimeon Laffell, 22, were sitting in a white Kia near East 132nd and South San Pedro streets on June 6 about 7:30 p.m., when deputies approached them.
