Overview
- Const. Andrew Davis admitted to assault causing bodily harm and careless use of a firearm over the Feb. 27, 2023 park shooting of Devon Fowlin.
- An agreed statement of facts and video show officers confronting Fowlin as he backed away, with one officer yelling, “Oh my god, shoot him,” before two shots were fired.
- Fowlin survived gunshot wounds to his wrist, chest, abdomen and hip and says he continues to face physical and mental effects.
- The SIU had initially charged Davis with aggravated assault and discharging a firearm with intent, and a 2024 Toronto police review found his force unnecessary with insufficient de‑escalation.
- Davis was off duty en route to a paid assignment, remains suspended with pay, the police tribunal is stayed until after sentencing, and Fowlin has a civil lawsuit pending.
