A Qualicum Beach family is heartbroken and sounding the alarm, after their son was shot and killed by Nanaimo RCMP.
Posted: Aug. 5, 2022 6:04PMLooking through photos of her beloved son Sean on Friday, Shirley Brown took in a deep breath and got lost for a moment seeing her family in happier times.
“It should never have happened the way it happened. I just can’t get over the fact that he was shot and killed by the police and that should never, never have happened and I know it might have been a weapon but I think it was a wooden gun,” said Shirley Brown, a Qualicum Beach resident and Mother of Sean Brown.
His parents say he stayed close to his family though, and they repeatedly took him to doctors and hospitals when his condition worsened, where they pleaded for help.His dad was still waiting for a counselling appointment he called Island Health about for Sean, and he texted his mom, just hours before his death.
His parents knew that Sean’s best friend was picking him up from his Nanaimo apartment, and according to his parents, the two were in her black Kia travelling down Haliburton Street when they began arguing and Sean punched her.“She wanted to get him some help she recognized that he needed help, they’ve been knocking around together for what 18 years or something,” said Lester Brown, Sean’s Father.
