RCMP Shooting of Indigenous Man Under Review | Vancouver News
Description
An inquest in British Columbia is examining the fatal 2021 shooting of 28-year-old Indigenous man Julian Jones by RCMP officers, who claimed he emerged wielding metal files, threatened to kill them if they harmed his brother, and continued advancing despite warnings and a Taser — ultimately leading to a fatal shot. The hearing explores whether alternative responses could have been taken amid volatile circumstances, while the family’s lawyer raises questions about missed opportunities to intervene earlier.
