Richmond, affectionately called "Meatman" by friends and family because of his longtime job working in the East Bluff Kroger's meat department, was shot and killed by police Oct. 3 at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in south Peoria. Peoria Police Chief Eric Echevarria named Candice Fillpot, Christopher Heaton, Danny Marx, and Andrew Fuller as the four officers involved in the incident at a news conference on Friday. All four are on paid administrative leave pending the conclusion of an Illinois State Police investigation into the shooting, and Peoria County State's Attorney Jodi Hoos' determination on whether the lethal use of force was justified. Heaton also was put on administrative leave following his involvement in the 2017 fatal police shooting of Eddie Russell, Jr. The state's attorney's office found the officer's actions justified in that incident. Echevarria said the October incident began with a ShotSpotter alert at 10:06 p.m. At 10:16 p.m., dispatchers told officers about a call in the area of Spring Hollow Lane reporting a man threatening suicide. He was described as wearing a sweatshirt and driving a gray Impala. Echevarria showed reporters several video clips and stills from the police body camera footage, including an image he said shows a weapon found next to Richmond's body. The chief said when the first officer arrived, they found a man fitting the person described in the 911 call. Echevarria then showed a still he said shows the man pointing a gun at the officer. Shots were then fired, he said. "As more officers arrive on the scene, there is a pause in gunfire until you see, in this still image, Mr. Richmond attempting to get up, ignoring officers' commands to stay down. Gunfire continues," Echevarria said. Echevarria played a video of that scene, and a second clip he said shows the officers approaching Richmond to perform CPR. The officers roll Richmond onto his stomach, handcuff him, and check his body for other weapons before performing CPR. The chief noted the highlighted clips didn't show the officers getting out their shields and preparing to move in toward Richmond. Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood said Richmond was shot multiple times and died instantly. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Echevarria declined to answer questions about the number of shots fired and which officers fired the rounds, citing the ongoing state police investigation. When asked if a behavioral health worker or co-responder was called the scene, Echevarria brought up "the image of Mr. Richmond pointing a gun at my officers," calling it a "rapidly developing situation." "The State Police will conduct their investigation, and we will follow up based on their investigation on what we will need to do in future," he said. On Nov. 8, Richmond's family held a news conference demanding a transparent investigation outside city hall, ahead of a Peoria City Council meeting. “He was shot by four police officers and we need answers. We need to know why they did it, when they did it, how they did it, and why,” Richmond’s sister told a reporter at the media event. In a Facebook Live video posted Friday night, Richmond family spokesperson Chama St. Louis said the news conference "left more questions than answers" and said she was disappointed in the city.
