The family of Richard Lee Richards, the man who was shot in his wheelchair by a TPD officer in January, has filed a civil suit against the City of Tucson.
"Our goal in filing this lawsuit is to seek some measure of justice on behalf of Mr. Richards and his family," said Richards family attorney John Bradley.
"Mr. Remington's shooting of Mr. Richards as he sat there in the wheelchair without using or even attempting to use any other method of non-deadly force is a violation of Mr. Richards' constitutional rights to be free from unreasonable seizure, and to be free from discrimination because of his disability," said Bradley.
Tucson Police have said Richards ignored Remington's order to put down a knife as he tried to enter another a nearby Lowe's Garden Center.
