Former Tucson police Officer Ryan Remington fatally shot Richard Lee Richards, a man in a motorized wheelchair suspected of shoplifting, nine times.
Pima County Attorney Laura Conover announced Thursday that former Tucson police Officer Ryan Remington will be charged with manslaughter after shooting a man in a motorized wheelchair nine times in November 2021, at a Lowe’s in Tucson. According to Tucson police, the fatal shooting occurred at a Lowe’s parking lot, near Valencia and Midvale Park roads at about 6 p.m. on Nov. 29, 2021.
Officer Stephanie Taylor responded to the scene as well. After both officers told Richards not to enter the Lowe’s, Remington fired his gun nine times into Richards' back and side, causing Richards to immediately fall from his chair. He was pronounced dead at the scene. John Bradley, another attorney representing Richards' family, said in the statement they wanted to give the County Attorney’s Office the time it needed to investigate the shooting and make the charging decision.
