The families of the five teenagers who were with 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi when he was shot dead by Longueuil police are suing the city and the police force for $1.9 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rezayi was killed Sept. 21, 2025, after police responded to a 911 call about a group of youth wearing masks in a residential neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
The statement of claim filed at Quebec Superior Court criticizes the actions of officers, alleging racial profiling played a key role in Rezayi\u2019s avoidable death.<\/p>\n
The allegations in the lawsuit have not been tested in court.<\/p>\n
Quebec\u2019s police watchdog, known as the BEI, submitted its report into the incident on March 11, which Public Security MinisterIan Lafreni\u00e8re said he was open to making public.<\/p>\n
Longueuil\u2019s police chief has previously said his officers are sharing the grief felt by the community and that they were co-operating with the provincial watchdog.<\/p>\n
The plaintiffs are not identified in the lawsuit to protect the identity of minors, who are all between the ages of 15 and 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The families of the five teenagers who were with 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi when he was shot dead by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":547920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194292],"tags":[49,48,2338],"class_list":["post-547919","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-montreal","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-montreal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/547920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
