Montreal police are actively conducting searches related to the investigation into the death of 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi, who was shot by Longueuil police on September 21. The incident occurred after officers responded to a 911 call concerning a group of possibly armed youths in a residential area. The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes, Quebec's police watchdog, is investigating the shooting and has confirmed that the only firearm retrieved from the scene belonged to the officer involved in the shooting, indicating that the teen was unarmed at the time of the incident.

As part of their parallel investigation, Montreal police have been searching several communities on the South Shore, including towns such as Beloeil, Brossard, Candiac, Longueuil, and St-Philippe. These searches aim to gather evidence and insights into the circumstances that led to the police intervention, which has garnered significant public attention and concern. The investigation is being closely monitored by the community and has prompted discussions about police conduct and accountability in situations involving youth.

In an ongoing legal response, Rezayi's family has filed a civil lawsuit against Longueuil police, seeking $2.2 million in damages. They claim that the police's use of lethal force was excessive and unwarranted. The outcome of both the legal proceedings and the police investigations may have wider implications for police practices in Canada, particularly regarding the engagement with youth in potentially dangerous situations.
