US EditionFamilies of teens confronted by Longueuil police launch $1.9-million lawsuit
The lawsuit alleges police used negligent tactics and racial profiling in the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi, seeking $1.9 million in damages.
- On Thursday, the five minors and their mothers filed a $1.9 million civil lawsuit in Quebec Superior Court against the City of Longueuil and Longueuil police.
- Nooran Rezayi, a 15-year-old high school student, was shot and killed last year after Longueuil police responded to a 911 call about armed, masked youths in a residential neighbourhood.
- Plaintiffs allege the operation was 'highly negligent and reckless', lacked planning and de‑escalation, and say racial profiling played a key role in Rezayi's avoidable death.
- With the investigation ending last Wednesday, Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière said he was open to making the BEI report public and will launch an administrative inquiry.
- A city spokesperson declined further comment as the case is under judicial review, following community calls for oversight and Brigitte Bishop questioning the police chief's actions.
