US EditionFamily of teen shot dead by police suing Longueuil, Quebec, police force
The Rezayi family alleges police used excessive force in the shooting death of 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi and seeks $2.2 million in damages and police reform.
- On Tuesday the Rezayi family launched a $2.2-million lawsuit against the City of Longueuil and Longueuil Police Service, seeking compensation, police reviews, and public release of surveillance footage.
- Police in St-Hubert answered a 911 call reporting a group said to be armed, fatally shooting Nooran Rezayi, 15-year-old, about 2:58 p.m. near Joseph-Daigneault and Monaco streets.
- Footage reviewed by CTV News reveals Nooran was shot within about 10 seconds of the police cruiser stopping, with less than 10 seconds before two fatal shots; the BEI confirmed only the officer's firearm was seized and no weapon was found on Nooran.
- Mayor Catherine Fournier asked Quebec Minister of Public Security Ian Lafrenière to open an investigation into SPAL, while the BEI and Montreal police continue probes and the officer is on indefinite leave.
- Letters exchanged between BEI director Brigitte Bishop and SPAL chief Patrick Bélanger show police took more than 90 minutes to notify the BEI, while BEI statistics reveal over 450 investigations but only two charges.
