The province's law guard dog is scheduled to bring home the bacon an update tues morn on its investigation into a deadly police intervention in Longueuil, Que., where a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed.
The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI) invited media to a news conference with its director, Brigitte Bishop at 8:30 a.m., at its Longueuil office on Montreal's South Shore.
The scheduled update is an unusual step by the agency, which normally releases minimal preliminary information when launching an investigation and remains tightlipped until its work is complete.
According to the preliminary information it released on Monday, the shooting occurred around 2:48 p.m. Sunday near Joseph-Daigneault and Monaco streets, following a 911 call reporting a group of armed individuals in a public area.
Officers arrived roughly 10 minutes later. During the encounter, one person was fatally shot.
Sadness and anger in Longueuil, Que., after 15-year-old fatally shot by police
Johnny Inthisone, who witnessed what happened from his home, said the shooting happened "in two seconds, not even," and that police police shot the 15-year-old "far too quickly," barely interacting with him at all before firing two bullets.
Speaking with reporters on Monday, the teen's family and friends described him as a kind, gentle boy who wasn't violent and had only been carrying a school bag containing books when he was shot.
Nooran attended André-Laurendeau high school, located about two kilometres from the scene of the shooting.
"We need justice," Nooran's father, Sharif Rezay, told reporters on Monday.
The BEI investigates incidents where people are injured or killed during police interventions. The watchdog has assigned five investigators to the case, with assistance from Montreal police.
