How they died
Deadly force
Matthew Gauthier After 9:30 a.m., two deputies were finishing up a response to a call when one noticed Ridgeway, who had an outstanding warrant and was on foot. The deputy went to contact him, but Ridgeway allegedly reached into his waistband while running away, prompting a foot pursuit. The deputy commanded him to show his hands and tried to physically control him. During the fight, Ridgeway allegedly pulled out a firearm from his waistband and fired a shot toward the deputy but missed. The deputy shot and killed him.
