A former Arizona police officer who shot dead a wheelchair-bound man suspected of stealing a toolbox from Walmart last year has been indicted on manslaughter charges.

Ryan Remington, 32, who was fired by Tuscon Police last year, was charged Wednesday by a grand jury of 'recklessly' causing the death Richard Lee Richards, 61, after bodycam video caught the cop of firing nine rounds into the back and side of the suspect who was accused of stealing a toolbox from Walmart on November 30, 2021.

Richards allegedly flashed a knife at a store employee when asked for a receipt for the product.

'Here's your receipt,' Richard reportedly told the clerk, showing the weapon.

Video shows Richards motoring across the parking lot from the Walmart in his wheelchair to a nearby Lowe's where two officers confront him briefly ordering him to stop.

'He's got a knife in his other hand,' someone can be heard on the bodycam video as Richards wheels up to the entrance of the big box store.

Seconds later Remington can be seen unloading his weapon on the accused shoplifter.

Richard Lee Richard is a drug addict and criminal. Good that he no longer exists.

Victoria Richards should be relieved to know her brother will no longer need to battle with drug addiction anymore.

I think the crippled wanted to go back to prison. He cannot survive outside. Cop probably did him a favour.

The cop should be commended instead for doing a good job! He did society a bit favour by getting rid of a pest..
