FREDERICTON The family of an Indigenous New Brunswick man shot dead by police last year says it hopes a coroner s inquest will answer the many questions surrounding his death. Rodney Levi was shot dead by the RCMP on June 12, 2020, in Sunny Corner, N.B., after police responded to a complaint about a disturbance in a home. Prosecutors decided not to charge the officers following an investigation by Quebec s police watchdog, the Bureau des enquetes independantes, which cleared the police of wrongdoing after it concluded they believed Levi was using force against them. Quebec s watchdog was tasked with the probe because New Brunswick doesn t have an independent police oversight agency.
