Vigil to Mark One Year Since Nooran Rezayi Shot and Killed by Police in Longueuil
Rezayi’s family will join the vigil as prosecutors review the watchdog’s report and 11 young people face separate charges.
- On Monday evening, Nooran Rezayi's family held a vigil in Longueuil to mark the one-year anniversary of his death, beginning at 6 p.m. outside the Longueuil Metropolitan Police Service station at 7151 Cousineau Boulevard.
- Nooran, 15, was killed on Sept. 21, 2025, after police responded to a 911 call reporting armed individuals; the Bureau of Independent Investigations later reported the only firearm seized belonged to the officer who shot him.
- A stay of criminal proceedings against 11 youths occurred in August, as prosecutors cited 'new information' and a 'complex legal issue,' while the family filed a $2.2 million civil suit against the City of Longueuil and its police force.
- Lawyer Fernando Belton expressed frustration over the lack of information from the BEI, the City, and the Montreal Police Service , stating the family seeks truth amid ongoing investigations.
- The Interior Security Ministry launched an administrative investigation into the SPAL's handling of the aftermath, which remains ongoing as the timeline for potential criminal charges against the involved officer remains undetermined.
