Manitoba’s police watchdog is reaching out to the public for help in identifying a potential witness to a fatal police shooting earlier this week.
The Independent Investigation Unit (IIU) says it has reviewed video footage of the incident and there’s a person who can be seen who likely witnessed the shooting. So far, their efforts to identify the witness haven’t been successful.
The Nov. 24 incident, at a Unicity-area shopping complex, saw a police officer stabbed in the neck, followed by police shooting and killing the 24-year-old suspect.
