Wednesday, November 29 is a tragic reminder for Lakewood Police.
Fourteen years ago Officers Tina Griswold, Ronald Owens, Greg Richards, and Sergeant Mark Renninger were shot and killed in a Parkland coffee shop.
A Seattle police officer killed the suspect, Maurice Clemmons, two days later.
The getaway driver, Darcus Allen, was convicted of first-degree murder but those convictions were overturned in 2015 by the State Supreme Court.
He was retried three times and was facing a fourth this year but he walked free in April after making an ‘Alford plea’. That’s when you maintain your innocence while acknowledging there’s enough evidence for a conviction.
