Manitoba’s Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. John Younes, has call inquests into two separate deaths that were the results of police shootings in September 2017.
Adrian Lacquette, 23 from Winnipeg died from gunshot wounds he sustained in an altercation with police on September 13, 2017, while officers were conducting a criminal investigation.
Evan Grant Caron, 33 from Winnipeg died from multiple gunshot wounds he sustained on September 23, 2017, after an altercation with Winnipeg Police officers. Officers had been called to a home due to a disturbance.
Under the Fatality Inquiries Act, the inquests must be called in an effort to determine the circumstances surrounding the deaths and what can be done in the future to prevent similar deaths from happening.
Dates for the inquests have yet to be determined.
