Name of the officer is Grant Morrison, and that was his second shooting. He was cleared in both shootings by coroners inquest.
"On Monday, Morrison shot and killed Richard Ramirez, 38, after the man failed to comply with multiple commands and made a “downward-reaching movement” while seated in the back of a stopped car, according to police.
Ramirez died of his injuries after being taken to Billings Clinic. It was later determined he was unarmed.
Ramirez, who has a history of felony drug possession, had been identified as a suspect in a robbery Morrison responded to Sunday. The victim of the robbery had been shot in the arm and identified Ramirez as the shooter, police said.
Morrison also shot and killed 32-year-old Jason James Shaw on Feb. 11, 2013, during a confrontation at a car outside a suspected drug house. A coroner's inquest Aug. 14, 2013, ruled the shooting justifiable. Shaw, who was seated in a car, had refused Morrison’s commands and reached for a BB gun in his pocket after being stunned with a stun gun, according to testimony at the inquest."
