MONTREAL — Quebec’s police watchdog says it has submitted its report to the prosecutor’s office into the killing of a 15-year-old boy by Longueuil police last September.
Nooran Rezayi was shot dead by police on Montreal’s South Shore after officers responded to a 911 call about a group of allegedly armed youth in a residential neighbourhood.
The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes — known as the BEI — says its report includes statements from police officers and witnesses as well as physical evidence collected at the scene.
The watchdog also says two other expert reports are not ready yet and still need to be delivered to the prosecutor’s office, which will decide whether to lay charges.
The BEI investigates when a civilian is killed or seriously injured during a police intervention.
Rezayi’s family filed a $2.2-million civil lawsuit against Longueuil police, saying the use of force against the teenager was unreasonable and disproportionate.
The BEI has said the only gun seized at the scene belonged to the officer who shot the teen.
