Lydia McLaughlin is deeply saddened following the tragic incident where her brother, Geoffrey Shyam Stirling, was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop that took place in Newport Beach on Thursday evening.
45-year-old me, on a thrilling ride along the breathtaking Pacific Coast Highway, found myself stopped by the authorities last Friday. The intriguing details were shared by TMZ in their latest update.
Reports indicate that Geoffrey was perceived as unhelpful, leading to a police officer at the scene firing their weapon, striking him.
McLaughlin’s elder sibling was subsequently transported to a local medical facility, where he eventually succumbed to his condition. Fortunately, no law enforcement personnel sustained injuries in the incident.
Currently, the California Attorney General’s Office is conducting an independent investigation to delve deeper into the recent event.
In a statement to TMZ, Lydia expressed: ‘My family and I are devastated by the loss of my brother.

I’m deeply moved by the overwhelming love and support I’ve received from my loved ones, friends, and the wider community during this difficult time. I humbly request some privacy as I take moments to grieve and heal. Thank you for your understanding and compassion.
