Ricardo Giddings, 59, died on August 6, 2018, after a shootout at his Germantown home in Philadelphia. SWAT officers were serving a search warrant for Giddings’ grandson on a weapons violation when Giddings, reportedly mistaking the officers for home intruders, fired at them. Officers returned fire and Giddings was shot and later died of his wounds. Giddings’ wife was also injured and hospitalized. The grandson later turned himself in to authorities.

The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office investigated and concluded the officers were justified in using deadly force, finding they reasonably believed they faced danger of death or serious bodily injury; no criminal charges were filed. Does anyone have firsthand information about the events at the house that night or knew the family?
