Quebec opens investigation into police response after officer shot and killed teen

MONTREAL — Quebec’s domestic security minister has opened an investigation linked to the police shooting of a 15-year-old boy in September on Montreal’s South Shore.

Ian Lafrenière says the administrative investigation will examine the actions of Longueuil police after an officer shot and killed Nooran Rezayi.

Documents from the independent police watchdog — Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes — released last year say police waited one hour and 36 minutes to inform the oversight agency about the death.

And during that time officers allegedly interviewed witnesses and tried to collect video footage, actions the watchdog has said were inappropriate.
