In 2011, Derek Colling was fired from the LVMPD after he was caught on video beating and falsely arresting a man who was legally filming him. Prior to that he had already shot two people. This included a very controversial shooting of a mentally ill 15 year old in 2009.

In spite of having been fired and the violence within his past, Colling was quickly rehired by Sheriff Dave O’Malley as a deputy with the Albany County Sheriff's Office in Laramie, Wyoming. Not surprisingly, last Sunday (11/4/18) Colling shot and killed a third person.

Although few details have been released officially, the family has stated that the shooting resulted from a traffic stop. They've also stated that the victim, Robbie Ramirez, was mentally ill and unarmed at the time. Reportedly, Colling also knew Ramirez very well, having graduated high school with him at which time they played baseball on the same team and sang in the school choir together. Therefore he was aware of his mental state.
