Tyler Barriss
Tyler Barriss   the 25-year-old man suspected of making a fatal prank "swatting" call to police after an argument over the video game Call of Duty  has waived extradition to Kansas  according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office. The fugitive from justice warrant lists  Barriss'  charge as making a false alarm  according to NBC News.
Authorities in Los Angeles arrested  Barriss  on Friday. Wichita police say they received a call on Thursday from someone claiming they had killed their father  doused the home in gas  and planned to set it on fire with their mother and brother inside. Police went to the given address  where they found 28-year-old Andrew Finch. Finch was fatally shot during the incident.
This isn't the first time  Barriss  has been arrested in connection to a fake 911 call. In October 2015  police in California arrested  Barriss  for making bomb threats to KABC-TV. He was charged with two felony counts of false report of a bomb to an agency of business and one felony count of criminal threats. According to Los Angeles Sheriff's Office records   Barriss  was sentenced to 972 days in the adjudicated case.
Now that  Barriss  has waived extradition  he will be transported back to Kansas within the next two to three weeks. When he arrives in Wichita  he will make his first appearance in a district court. Glixel has reached out to the DA's office to see if  Barriss  faces any additional charges.
