Brampton Killing of Savannah Kulla Prompts Bail Reform Calls After Suspect Shot by Police

Police say the accused was out on bail under no-contact orders with a firearms ban.

Overview

  • Savannah Kulla, 29, a mother of four, was fatally shot in a Brampton plaza parking lot in what Peel police call an intimate-partner case.
  • An Amber Alert was issued after her one-year-old daughter was taken; the child was later found safe with relatives in the Niagara area.
  • Niagara police located suspect Anthony Deschepper, 38, early Wednesday and fatally shot him during an interaction, and a firearm was recovered at the scene.
  • Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has launched a probe into the police use of force, and a woman found with Deschepper was arrested and faces charges.
  • Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown condemned the killing as a failure of the bail system and urged rapid federal reforms targeting repeat violent offenders and firearm cases.
