Fox News
A Nevada prosecutor determined Friday that a fatal 2021 police shooting was justified. The suspect was shot to death after he fled authorities and crashed into two police cars.
Officers said they were trying to arrest 41-year-old Richard Thomas of Reno on a firearms warrant, but he ignored commands to stop his vehicle. He sped away while dragging a detective along the roadway, authorities said.
Authorities were responding to a tip that Thomas had missed a court hearing and planned to flee, the Reno Gazette Journal reported.
Undercover detectives with a regional team that focuses on repeat felons tracked down Thomas and followed him to a gas station along U.S. Highway 395.
