Ryan Richard

Man shot dead behind Brickdam police station

Relatives of a man whose own sister described as “a junkie” (drug addict) are claiming he was shot dead by police, after he was found in the Teaching Service Commission building on Brickdam early Sunday morning.

Ryan Richards of Breda and Leopold streets died early Sunday morning after being admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation with gunshot wounds. He had been released from Brickdam prison only last Monday after being held in connection with the offences of break and entry and larceny.

A release from the police said they are investigating the death of the 29-year-old Richards who was found in the vicinity of Farley Gas Station, behind the Brickdam Police Station at about 2:45 am on Sunday.
