SACRAMENTO, CA. (THECOUNT) — Darell “Beasty” Richards has been identified as the masked man killed in an officer-involved shooting in Sacramento Wednesday night, according to the Sacramento coroner.
Richards, 19, was found to be holding a pellet gun when he was shot dead in an officer-involved shooting off Broadway in Sacramento around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Police received a report of an armed, masked man in the Land Park neighborhood and upon arrival, the suspect fled from police. When the suspect hid in a backyard, police called SWAT. The suspect fled again and was found in another backyard around 3 a.m. Police say they deployed, “less than lethal weapons,” and a canine, but two SWAT team members were threatened by the suspect and both fired their weapons, killing the suspect. source
