CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) A Wyoming sheriff s corporal who is facing a wrongful death lawsuit in the killing of an unarmed mentally ill man in 2018 has resigned.
Derek Colling left his job Wednesday, the Albany County Sheriff s Office said in a release Thursday.
No other information about the personnel matter would be provided, the release said. Colling had no listed phone number and couldn t be reached for comment.
Colling was a patrol deputy when he shot and killed Robert “Robbie” Ramirez, 39, after a traffic stop in Laramie in 2018. Ramirez drove off during the stop, and police car video shows that Colling followed him to his apartment, where he shot him with a Taser then his gun.
