A 21-year-old Miami man is behind bars after police say he was allegedly the man who opened fire last week, shooting and killing a teenager.
Richard Thompson was arrested Monday and charged with multiple counts, including first degree murder and weapons possession while on probation. He is scheduled to appear in bond court again Wednesday.
Police say that Thompson allegedly shot two people last Tuesday morning near the intersection of NW 17th Avenue and 31st Street. The shooting killed Damien Ramirez and injured another person. Surveillance video put Thompson at the scene of the shooting, but he denies pulling the trigger.
He was arrested at his home with several weapons in clear sight of police – a violation of his probation.
