Quebec watchdog submits report into police shooting of 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi
The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes submitted its confidential report to prosecutors who will decide on charges; Rezayi's family has filed a $2.2-million lawsuit alleging excessive force.
- On Wednesday the Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes submitted its final report to the DPCP and said the file is confidential.
- Responding to a 911 call, Longueuil police arrived after reports of allegedly armed youth, and Nooran Rezayi, 15-year-old, was shot within seconds of officers' arrival.
- The BEI recorded police and witness statements and logged physical evidence, noting the only gun seized belonged to the officer who shot Rezayi, along with a baseball bat, a backpack, and ski masks.
- Prosecutors must wait for two outstanding expert reports before ruling on criminal charges, while Rezayi's family filed a $2.2-million civil lawsuit alleging unreasonable force by the Longueuil police officer.
- Mayor Catherine Fournier urged Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière to act on her December 11 request after BEI documents last year raised concerns about Longueuil police interviewing witnesses and delaying notification.
