For Immediate Release
Surrey, B.C. — The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC has now completed its investigation into the police-involved shooting that occurred in Agassiz on June 19, 2025 (IIO 2025-152).
RCMP officers first responded around 7:45 p.m. to a residence on Highway 9 between McDonald Road and Bristol Drive to a call about a person damaging a home.
Police located the affected person (AP), and during the interaction shots were fired and the AP sustained a serious injury. The AP was then air lifted to a hospital for treatment.
The IIO was notified shortly after the incident and began an investigation.
The chief civilian director has reviewed the evidence collected by IIO investigators – including medical records, police reports and witness accounts – and has determined that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that an officer may have committed an offence.
The IIO investigation is now concluded, and a public report will be published following conclusion of a related court process.
Background
The IIO is the Independent civilian oversight agency of the police in British Columbia. It investigates all officer-related incidents that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing.
