The former member of the vaunted 1985 Super Bowl champion Chicago Bears was charged with murder on Wednesday, stemming from the shooting death of a 47-year old in Arizona.
According to a report by the Arizona Republic, Richardson is suspected of shooting and killing Ronald Like in Phoenix. He also faces charges for misconduct involving weapons, and a felony warrant.
Like was transported to the hospital but would later be pronounced dead.
Richardson spent his first six seasons with the Chicago Bears, before finishing his career as a San Francisco 49er.
He was a starter on the 1985 Chicago Bears defense.
