Overview

• Const. Andrew Davis admitted to assault causing bodily harm and careless use of a firearm, pleading to lesser offences than the SIU’s original aggravated assault and firearm‑intent charges.
• Body‑worn camera evidence and an agreed statement of facts show Tasers failed, Devon Fowlin cut his own neck, and Davis fired two shots as Fowlin turned, causing serious but survivable injuries.
• Davis remains suspended with pay, and the police tribunal matter was stayed during the criminal case with proceedings expected to resume after sentencing.
• A 2024 Toronto police report concluded Davis failed to sufficiently use de‑escalation and used unnecessary force during the encounter in the park near Black Creek and Trethewey.
• Fowlin said the plea delivers a measure of justice while he continues to face physical and emotional effects, and he has filed a civil lawsuit related to the shooting.
