Overview
- On Sept. 21, 2025, a Longueuil police officer shot and killed 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi about 10 seconds after officers parked while responding to a 911 call.
- Quebec’s domestic security minister, Ian Lafrenière, announced on Monday that lawyer Michel Bouchard will lead a six-month provincial administrative inquiry into the police force’s conduct after the shooting.
- The BEI — Quebec’s independent police watchdog — completed its separate inquiry in March and delivered its report to the public prosecution service while Montreal police continue a parallel criminal investigation.
- City-released documents and the BEI say Longueuil officers waited one hour and 36 minutes to notify investigators and interviewed witnesses and tried to collect video during that interval; the only firearm seized at the scene belonged to the officer.
- The probe could influence whether prosecutors press charges, lead to administrative findings about SPAL leadership and procedures, and affect ongoing civil lawsuits and public trust in local policing.
