Overview

  • Police arrested a 15-year-old over alleged online threats linked to Nooran Rezayi’s death and released the suspect under conditions.
  • The Longueuil officer involved is on indefinite leave, with protective measures granted and security increased after threats.
  • The BEI assigned 15 investigators and collected seven videos for forensic analysis, and Montreal police launched a parallel criminal probe.
  • Investigators recovered non‑firearm items at the scene, including a baseball bat, with some reports also noting ski masks and a backpack.
  • Rezayi’s funeral drew about 1,300 mourners, and a Saturday vigil is planned in Longueuil as calls grow for provincewide police body cameras.
