US EditionOfficers involved in fatal shooting of Hamilton man used reasonable force: SIU
- Two Hamilton police officers fatally shot Erixon Kabera on November 9, 2024, in an apartment building hallway after responding to a report of a threatening man.
- Officers were dispatched following a resident's call about a man holding a handgun-like object and acting threateningly, which led to the encounter in the hallway.
- Kabera, who raised a replica handgun as he walked toward officers, was shot multiple times during an exchange where officers fired as many as 24 rounds before he collapsed.
- SIU director Joseph Martino stated there are "no reasonable grounds" to charge the officers, noting they used "reasonable force" believing an imminent threat of grievous harm existed.
- The investigation cleared officers but prompted ongoing calls for transparency from Kabera's family and community, reflecting the incident’s lasting impact on Hamilton and beyond.
