Police watchdog says Julian Jones was shot in 2021 after a Taser failed to stop him from advancing on officers.
B.C.’s civilian-led police watchdog agency has released details of its investigation into the fatal shooting of an Indigenous man in 2021 near Tofino, eight months after finding that the officers involved did not commit an offence.
It said Tofino RCMP had been called that evening to investigate a report from a woman who said she “had been taken advantage of sexually” while drinking with two men and was being held against her will in a home. One of the officers said the second man was upset about the other man getting arrested and said things like “I’m gonna kill you.” The officer recalled saying “Don’t do this,” as the man kept coming at him.
At least two of the other witnesses who were at the scene said they did not think that the victim had been aggressive.
