Tyler Barriss Ethnicity, Age, Grandmother, Parents

Tyler Barriss is notorious for his act of swatting which sadly led to death of a 28 year old man.

Swatting is the act of falsely reporting a serious crime to send a massive police presence to an unsuspecting target.

Barriss received a 20-year prison sentence in December 2019 after being convicted for making a fake 911 call about a hostage situation in Kansas.

During his trial, Barriss admitted that he swatted innocent people for years.

Barriss’ swatting habit finally went too far on December 28, 2017, when he phoned police and falsely said he fatally shot his father and was currently holding the rest of his family hostage at his home in Wichita, Kansas.

Officers thronged to the Wichita address, demanding everyone inside to come out.

Andrew Finch, the 28-year-old occupant of the residence, exited his home confused, raising and dropping his hands several times before an officer opened fire and killed him.

Barriss, a resident of Los Angeles, California, pled guilty to a total of 51 charges, all having to do with hoax emergency calls he’d made, including the call that resulted in Finch’s murder.

The Wichita Eagle reports that his Barriss’ grandmother wrote in a domestic violence case seeking a restraining order in 2015 from a California court that Barris had made “constant threats to beat my face bloody.”

Barriss also allegedly made death threats against the woman, along with threats to destroy her home and dogs.
