The Richmond Police Department’s investigation into the tragic accident involving two RPD officers, and the late Jeremiah Ruffin and Tracey Williams has concluded. As stated, a few weeks ago, our intent was to turn the full investigation over to the Commonwealth Attorney for review and next steps.
Today, May 4, 2022, the Richmond Police Department turned the investigation over to the Commonwealth Attorney to proceed with further action. While we do not know how the Commonwealth will proceed at this time, we believe they will go where the investigation leads as well.
Both families have been made aware that the investigation is now in the hands of the Commonwealth.
Richmond Police Department will continue to support the families as they continue to navigate this arduous process while also dealing with the loss of their loved ones.
