For the second time in eight days, Ontario’s police watchdog has cleared members of Peel Regional Police of criminal wrongdoing for involvement in the death of a Mississauga resident experiencing a mental illness crisis.
In an report released on Tuesday, Special Investigations Unit director Joseph Martino found no reason to charge officers involved in the fatal shooting of 62-year-old Ejaz Choudry, an infirm father of four who had armed himself with a knife during a mental health lapse on June 20, 2020. The family said they were “deeply disappointed” but had long ago come to expect the outcome.

Ontario s police watchdog has ruled there will be no criminal charges against police in the death of a 62-year-old father of four shot and killed by an officer last summer after his family called a non-emergency line for help while he was in crisis.
In a decision released Tuesday, Special Investigations Unit (SIU) director Joseph Martino concluded the Peel Regional Police officer who fired two bullets into Ejaz Choudry s chest acted reasonably when he opened fire from the balcony of Choudry s locked Mississauga, Ont., apartment on June 20, 2020.
