Jordan Charlie, a 24-year-old Inuk man from Nunavut, was killed by Winnipeg police in a tragic incident at a bus shelter. He had recently pleaded guilty to assault and weapon charges and was described as someone desperately seeking connection and help.
Nunavut man shot by Winnipeg police was in 'really sad' situation, judge said days before his death | CBC News LoadedA man shot and killed by Winnipeg police earlier this week was from Nunavut and is being remembered as a proud Inuk who craved connection and needed help to overcome his violent past . Jordan Charlie is seen in March 2024, in the most recent photo on his Facebook page.
"I think he was overly independent. He knew he needed help, but he would often mention that he's going to wait until he's ready," Angnakok said. Court heard Charlie was charged with assault with a weapon after slashing a security guard's hand with a knife at Winnipeg's Health Sciences Centre in February. He had been intoxicated when he was placed on a resuscitation bed at the hospital and pulled a knife out of his pants.
Jordan Charlie stands near a bus stop in front of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority office on Main Street near Henry Avenue. The photo, from his Facebook page, is dated June 30, 2023. "The period of time where his brain was without oxygen has resulted in some lasting brain damage, and he has some issues with his memory," she told Slough."I suspect Mr. Charlie didn't start out with the easiest upbringing or life, and now as the result of a suicide attempt, there's more damage.""Hopefully they can give you some help, so good luck, Mr. Charlie," Slough said at the end of the hearing.
