Overview

• BEI director Brigitte Bishop said investigators seized a baseball bat, a backpack and ski masks, and that the only firearm collected was the officer’s, which has been sent for ballistics testing.
• The agency is analyzing seven videos and has interviewed about 15 witnesses, with calls for more youths present at the scene to come forward.
• The victim was identified by family as 15-year-old Nooran Rezay, whose relatives retained a lawyer and are preparing for his funeral.
• Witnesses described officers arriving, shouting “stop,” and firing within seconds, while family and friends maintain Rezay carried only a school bag with books.
• Longueuil police say they are cooperating with the investigation, the involved officer is on indefinite leave, and the coroner has opened a parallel inquiry as the BEI faces questions over a record of only two cases leading to charges out of more than 450.
