B.C.’s police watchdog has recommended charges against three RCMP officers involved in the shooting death of a 38-year-old Indigenous father of two in Campbell River two years ago.
A warrant had been issued for his arrest on March 21, 2021 for allegedly breaching a conditional sentence order for two firearms-possession-related offences dating to April 2013. Fay Blaney, a close friend of Lowndes’ mother and great-aunt to his children, said the family welcomes the recommendation of charges.
“We need our own in there to be investigating these cases,” she said, adding the family has met many other Indigenous families whose relatives have been killed by police.
