Police said Richardson was with his brother, Eric Richardson, 19, in a U-Haul truck with their mother when the brothers apparently started arguing. Eric Richardson was shot in the leg, apparently by accident, and Justin Richardson ran to a nearby field. Police set up a perimeter and officer Jerry Hester saw Richardson walking out of the field. He ignored commands and witnesses told police he turned and pointed a .45-caliber pistol at Hester, who shot and killed him.
