New investigation into Longueuil police actions in Nooran Rezayi death
Quebec's public security minister has called for an administrative probe into how officers handled the hours after the 15-year-old's fatal shooting in September.
Quebec Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière has ordered a new administrative investigation into Longueuil police actions on the day Nooran Rezayi was killed by a police officer in September 2025.
The unarmed 15-year-old was fatally shot on September 21 following a call reporting suspicious teenagers in the area. The investigation focuses on a critical gap: police waited 1 hour and 36 minutes before reporting Rezayi's death to the Bureau of Independent Investigations. During that time, officers on site attempted to collect video footage and question witnesses.
The delay is central to the new probe. Standard protocol requires immediate notification to the independent investigative bureau when a police shooting occurs, yet Longueuil officers handled the scene themselves for nearly two hours before reporting what happened.
The case has drawn sustained attention from advocates and the public since Rezayi's death. The new administrative investigation will examine whether police followed proper procedures in those critical early hours.
