RCMP Shooting of Julian Jones Under Review | Vancouver News
Description
An inquest in British Columbia is unraveling the deadly 2021 shooting of 28-year-old Indigenous man Julian Jones by RCMP officers, as testimony reveals a volatile scene where Jones emerged holding metal files mistaken for knives, escalating after a Taser failed to stop him. Officers had already arrested his brother, and the woman inside had called for help, raising questions about whether backup could have been called, de-escalation tactics used, or if the woman could have been safely extracted before the confrontation spiraled. The family’s lawyer challenges whether better judgment or training could have saved Julian’s life.
