Jared Lowndes was shot and killed by police in Campbell River two years ago
B.C.’s police watchdog has recommended charges against three RCMP officers involved in the shooting death of a 38-year-old Indigenous father of two in Campbell River two years ago.
The Independent Investigations Office said in a statement on Friday that chief civilian director Ronald J. MacDonald had determined “reasonable grounds exist” to lay charges against the three officers related to use of force. “There’s a huge space, a huge empty space that’s been left in our lives,” Blaney said of Lowndes’ death. “Our little ones are really struggling — his daughters and nieces and nephews.”
Before being shot and killed, the Wet’suwet’en man stabbed and killed a police dog and injured a dog handler. The dog’s death prompted the RCMP detachment to hold a motorcade in the animal’s honour that weekend after issuing two statements detailing the police dog’s service and thanking the Campbell River community for its support following the dog’s death.
