At some point in the apocalypse, Richie somehow came into contact with a group named the "Saviors," which he subsequently joined.

"Adaptation"
After returning to the Sanctuary, Negan is surprised to hear a noise and finds a zombified Richie in the courtyard. Negan recognizes the zombified Savior and comments on how Richie is loyal to the end. He leaves Richie to continue banging on the door.
Eventually, Richie stops banging on the door. When Negan goes to the courtyard to investigate, he observes that Richie was distracted by some other walkers in the courtyard and started following them. Negan dispatches the walkers with a pipe, but leaves Richie trapped outside.
After he decides to return to Alexandria, Negan lets Richie inside and tells him that their situation isn't going to work out, before bashing the zombified Richie's head in with his pipe.
