Law enforcement says Lyons and two others assaulted a man on a party bus, dragged him from the bus as it was moving through the West End and shot the man in March 2013. As part of his guilty plea, Lyons was placed on probation/parole, officials say.

Law enforcement also says Lyons was involved in altercations with his ex-girlfriend's friend in 2019 and with his ex-girlfriend in 2020. He was charged for both incidents.

Lyons is in the Allegheny County Jail, awaiting arraignment on his two arrest warrants.
