Giovanni Lyiscott was 18 and living in Carson, California when he was shot and killed at home on February 20, 2016. Giovanni reportedly locked himself in his bedroom; his father allegedly shot at the door handle, entered, and a physical struggle followed during which a gun discharged and struck Giovanni in the chest. He was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Anderson was arrested and charged with one count of murder with a special allegation that he personally and intentionally discharged a firearm causing great bodily injury and death. He pleaded not guilty; at trial the defense said the shooting was accidental during a struggle, and the jury returned a not guilty verdict. The family placed a makeshift memorial at the Lyiscott home and tributes appeared on social media under the hashtag #LongLiveGio.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember the night of February 20, 2016, or who saw the Lyiscott family in the months before the shooting?
