The SIU is looking for witnesses to the death of Jason West.
Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit, or SIU, is appealing to members of the public who witnessed the shooting death of Jason West, 57, by Windsor police.
“After a review of surveillance footage, investigators are seeking to identify the occupant(s) of a grey sedan as they are believed to have witnessed the police interaction and the events leading up to it,” said a release from the SIU Friday.
According to the SIU, police responded to a report of a person in possession of a weapon on Sept. 6. After interacting with police, West was shot and killed, the release said.
“The vehicle, a grey Ford Fusion with chrome trim, was parked at the Food Basics at 880 Goyeau Street on September 6, 2024, at about 10:30 a.m.,” according to the SIU.
West is one of seven First Nations people – six males and one female – who have been killed by city police or the RCMP across the country since Aug. 29.
All deaths are being investigated by each province’s police investigation service.
