They put out an APB on his truck and a deputy in another city saw it and when he pulled it over and approached the truck from the driver's side they shot him, and then took off real fast leaving the deputy on the ground. They were going so fast, they didn't make the next turn, ran off into a ditch and high centered it, so they left it and took off on foot. More officers had already arrived as the deputy had called it in. They took the K-9 dogs and tracked them and caught them. The detectives told my son who they were and that he was lucky they got it back because they were heading to Mexico with it and he would never have seen it again. He had just bought it prior to them stealing it. The deputy wasn't hurt that bad and made a full recovery, but he could have died. God only knows who else they might have killed, so I have NO pity for that scumbag that was killed by Richard.
I’m sorry about the loss your son suffered and I agree that both perps were POS. I also believe in being armed at home and in your car. But you can’t chase someone down after they have left your property, shoot and kill them for a property crime. And you really can’t do it for someone who has harmed a family member, but you’d be hard pressed to find a jury who would convict in that instance.
