Vancouver police officers cleared over fatal 2023 shooting of youth with air pistol
November 27, 2025
British Columbia’s independent police watchdog agency has cleared Vancouver police officers of wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of a youth in 2023.
The Independent Investigations Office says the shooting at Clinton Park in East Vancouver on Aug. 5, 2023, happened after the youth pointed a replica air pistol handgun at officers.
IIO Chief Civilian Director Jessica Berglund says she found it “difficult to reconcile police accounts of the incident with the objective evidence,” specifically reports of a “muzzle flash” from the shooter that an expert says cannot be produced by an air pistol.

Thirty-five years after Timothy Rees was found guilty of murdering a 10-year-old girl, the Ontario Court of Appeal has quashed his conviction, ruling that a miscarriage of justice occurred in the case.In its decision Thursday, the court concluded that Mr. Rees did not get a fair trial back in 1990, because important evidence – a tape recording of a conversation between police and a viable alternate suspect – was withheld from his defence team by police.
