Richard Scott, a 41-year-old delivery truck driver from Manor, Texas, was fatally shot on November 21, 2019, after an on-the-job confrontation with a co-worker. Scott worked for Capitol Wright Distributing; surveillance footage shows him approach a vehicle similar to the one belonging to his assistant, Tyree Washington, and a physical altercation followed. Scott is seen backing away with his hands in the air before being shot. He was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and later died in the hospital.

A murder warrant was issued for Tyree Washington, who turned himself in and was held in the Travis County Jail with bond set at $100,000. Reports state the dispute began when Scott asked Washington to help unload equipment from their truck, Washington did not respond and walked away, and the situation escalated into the deadly confrontation.

Scott was born April 3, 1978, in Austin to Janice Denice Scott and Alton Carothers. A service was held at E.M. Franklin Chapel at St. James Baptist Church in Austin and he was buried at Park Springs Cemetery in Manor. Does anyone have information about the events in the parking lot or the moments before the shooting?
