Family demanding answers about alleged police shooting death of Ronny Kay
Debola Kay couldn’t hold back the tears during a rally in Montreal’s Chinatown Sunday afternoon.
Her family wants answers about the death of her brother, Ronny Kay, at the hands of police overnight on Sept. 17.According to the province’s Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes , their preliminary information suggests that Montreal police responded to a call around 12:30 September 17th, about a man who was possibly armed, walking near the intersection of René Lévesque Boulevard and the rue Berlioz, on Île-des-Soeurs.
“My brother was home,” explained Kay, “and his ex-girlfriend came because she wanted to take back some furniture. Maybe she didn’t agree so she called the cops.” In a news release the BEI stated that their information suggests, “The man, who would then have been located by a police officer, would have pointed his weapon in the direction of the latter. The police officer allegedly fired at least one shot. Seriously injured, the man was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.”
