A second grand jury has declined to indict a former Tucson police officer who shot and killed a shoplifting suspect in a motorized wheelchair.
Ryan Remington was indicted on manslaughter charges back in August after he reportedly killed 61-year-old Richard Lee Richards in a Walmart parking lot.
Police say Richards had stolen a toolbox and had a knife. Remington was working off-duty as a security guard at the time. Defense attorneys challenged the indictment, arguing prosecutors presented misleading statements to the first grand jury. A judge granted their request to bring the case to a grand jury for a second time. They also opted not to indict him.
Tucson Police Officer Ryan Remington was fired from the department after he was accused of shooting a shoplifting suspect in a wheelchair nine times, killing him, after the man brandished a knife, authorities said.Richards' family has also filed a civil rights lawsuit.Tucson Police officials have released both surveillance and body-worn camera footage of a shooting that left a 61-year-old man in a wheelchair dead.
