Carjacking suspect died as deputies tried to restrain him, officials say

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department acknowledged force was used to restrain a carjacking suspect who lost consciousness and died Tuesday inside a McDonald's restaurant in East San Gabriel. The man was identified as 38-year-old Timothy Shannon McMillan, who was a transient, according to Ed Winter, spokesman of the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. McMillan's cause of death has not been determined, and an autopsy is pending. Deputies confronted McMillan after a violent carjacking in the 8700 block of Garvey Avenue in Rosemead. In that incident, McMillan approached a parking enforcement officer as she was writing a ticket at 5:25 a.m., yelled at her and punched her in the head, the Sheriff's Department said.
