Quebec opens investigation into police response after officer shot and killed teen
The probe will examine police notification delays and alleged post-shooting breaches after watchdog documents said officers waited 1 hour 36 minutes to report the death.
- On Monday, Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière launched an administrative inquiry into the September 2025 shooting death of 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi by Longueuil police, focusing on the notification process to the Bureau of Independent Investigations .
- Rezayi was killed in St-Hubert after officers responded to a 911 call reporting armed youths; the BEI subsequently rebuked the Longueuil Agglomeration Police Service for waiting 1 hour and 36 minutes to report the death.
- Longueuil Mayor Catherine Fournier requested this investigation after internal correspondence revealed "several alleged breaches" of the force's obligations, with BEI director Brigitte Bishop criticizing officers for interviewing witnesses and collecting video footage during the delay.
- Michel Bouchard, a former deputy justice minister, will lead the six-month administrative investigation, while the SPAL maintains their actions were "reasonable and justified given the circumstances."
- Rezayi's family filed a lawsuit against the city totaling approximately $1.9 million, as a separate criminal investigation by the Montreal Police remains ongoing to determine if charges are warranted.
