Vondarrow Dewayne Fisher, 42, was shot by police after an attempted takeover robbery at Lamas Jewelry on West Route 66 in Glendora, California. The incident began about 12:15 p.m. on September 6, 2019; officers later located Fisher in the driveway of a nearby mixed-use complex. He refused to comply with commands, an officer opened fire, and Fisher was taken to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center where he died on September 9, 2019.

Authorities identified Fisher as one of the suspects in the robbery. A woman, Maria Luisa Valenzuela-Ayala, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of robbery after being found waiting in a car; a third suspect was sought and a large-scale lockdown briefly affected local schools and hospitals. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau investigated and placed Fisher’s coroner records on security hold, limiting release of further details.

Are there witnesses or local readers who saw the robbery or the police activity that day and can share what they remember?
