A former Houston Rockets guard was found dead in a Los Angeles home early Saturday, a few hours after police said he exchanged fire with officers.
Tyler Honeycutt, who played for the Rockets and UCLA, was identified by family members, according to a Los Angeles ABC outlet.
The Los Angeles Police Department said he appears to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Honeycutt was a standout guard for two seasons at UCLA before he was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in 2011.
