How they died
Deadly force
Officers with the repeat offenders program were looking for Richard Thomas as he was wanted on a felony warrant. His red truck was spotted at a gas station on Golden Valley Drive. As it started to pull away, the three unmarked vehicles surrounded the truck. The officers attempted to get Thomas out of the truck, but they say he refused to comply and attempted to drive away. One officer reportedly was pinned by the driver's door as he pulled away. Another was at the passenger's side and got pinned as the door closed, and the truck drove away. Both of those officers shot and killed Thomas.
