VANCOUVER — It has been two years since RCMP officers shot and killed Jared Lowndes at a Tim Hortons in Campbell River, B.C., but his mother Laura Holland says…
The lawsuit, filed the day before the two-year anniversary of Lowndes’ death, alleges police were negligent when they boxed his vehicle in and let loose a police dog that jumped in through the window.At the time, Campbell River Mounties said they tried to stop Lowndes’ vehicle because he had an outstanding arrest warrant.
Lowndes’ family say they’ve suffered great anguish since the killing, developing depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress after losing the care, guidance and financial support the Wet’suwet’en man provided while he was alive. He said the family is now waiting to see if Crown prosecutors will recommend charges against the officers and get answers about what exactly happened that day.Article content
Chantler said he believed “the police created a hectic, presumably terrifying scene,” where the Indigenous man was beset upon by a police dog and multiple officers.
