Four years after Greg Ritchie's death, a lawsuit filed by his relatives has been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount, the law firm representing the family's case announced late last month.
The morning Greg Ritchie died, he was on his way to the grocery store to purchase cake mix in an effort to cheer up his brother and sister-in-law.
Nick and Chantel heard the yelling and gunshots from their apartment, she said. They could see police and paramedics trying to help someone who had been shot. The statement of claim that Greg's family filed in court says he was at the Elmvale Shopping Centre on the morning of his death getting groceries and picking up his prescription.
One of the officers tasered him, but the report says that lasted for only a moment before Greg "raised the object above his head and swung it at the officer." Although he was kind and gentle in many ways, his disabilities sometimes made him difficult to approach and it took time for people to understand him, she said. Mental-health practitioners "knew how to work with him," said Chantel.
In January 2021, the Ottawa Police Service provided a report to the city's police services board that outlined its consultation approach for a mental-health response strategy.
