Former NFL star Michael Richardson has reportedly been accused of murder.

According to ABC15, Richardson was arrested Wednesday by Phoenix police in the aftermath of the shooting and killing of Ronald Like. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

 

Like was killed early Tuesday morning. ABC15 reported that Richardson has been charged with murder and misconduct involving weapons.

Richardson was a member of the iconic 1985 Chicago Bears Super Bowl team, and has already been convicted of multiple felonies, according to ESPN.

 

Obviously, Richardson has every right in the world to be presumed innocent of murder until proven guilty in a court of law.

That’s the system we have here in America, and we should all be very grateful for it.

 

Having said that, this situation is incredibly serious. This isn’t some minor drug charge or something that results in a slap on the wrist.

This is a murder charge. The former Chicago Bears star is being accused of killing somebody. It doesn’t get much more serious than a murder allegation.

Keep checking back for more updates on this situation as we have them.
