By Matthew McCully – Tracy Wing, the mother of Riley Fairholm, a 17-year-old shot and killed by provincial police on July 25, 2018 in Brome Lake, has launched a petition calling for the installation of cameras in patrol cars and body cams for police officers.
Riley was alone on the street the night of July 25, 2018. He was carrying a BB gun. He sent a text to Wing at 1:42 a.m. The first ambulance was called at 1:48 a.m. First Responders arrived on the scene at 1:56 a.m. The six minutes that led to Riley being shot in the head by an SQ officer will remain a black hole of unanswered questions for Wing. According to Wing, the incident that resulted in her son’s death was mishandled at every step, from the intervention up to the investigation by the Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI).
