LISTEN: Mother of Police Shooting Victim Frustrated After Meeting with Commissioner
The mother of Khaleel Simon, the Bolans man who was fatally shot by police several weeks ago, says a recent meeting with the top brass of the force left her feeling even more unsettled.
Casandra Mackenzie met with Commissioner of Police Everton Jeffers in search of answers about her son’s death. Instead, she said she walked away with “more questions than clarity.”
Her remarks come on the eve of a planned picket outside Police Headquarters, where she is calling on the public to stand with her in demanding accountability.
Simon’s death in Bolans has sparked community outrage, with residents insisting the police must justify the use of lethal force. The family maintains Khaleel was not given a fair chance before being shot.
