We will never forget LAPD Policeman Earl Leonard Riddick, who was killed on April 23, 1970, after he was shot when he attempted to arrest a bank robber while off duty.⁠
⁠
The robber entered the bank carrying a small black bag and went up to a teller and held her up with a .38 revolver. On his way out, he shot the uniformed guard standing by the door in the chest without warning, killing him instantly. The guard was unaware that a robbery had occurred.⁠
⁠
Policeman Riddick, in civilian clothes, was in the bank cashing a check. He followed the robber out to the parking lot. The bandit was getting into a 1968 brown Pontiac Firebird. According to witnesses, Policeman Riddick ordered him out of the car with his hands up. The bandit turned and fired, hitting the officer. The officer fell to the pavement but managed to fire his weapon and shot out the rear window of the bandit’s car as he fled.⁠
⁠
The bandit got only a short distance from the bank when his shattered rear window attracted the attention of two motorcycle officers who gave chase. The suspect crashed and fled on foot into a nearby backyard where he crawled beneath a trailer. As officers closed in, they shot and killed the suspect when he fired at them.
