The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding a fatal police-involved shooting that occurred yesterday in Turkey Point.
Preliminary information suggests the following:
At approximately 1 p.m. on August 12, 2025, Ontario Provincial Police officers were on the water near Turkey Point Marina when they spotted a personal watercraft that got their attention.
Officers attempted to get the operator to stop.
The man headed to the marina, exited the personal watercraft and ran into some bushes adjacent to the marina.
Officers set up a perimeter.
There was an interaction between police and the man.
One officer discharged an Anti-Riot Weapon ENField, and another officer discharged his firearm.
The 22-year-old man appears to have been struck by both firearms.
He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Four investigators and three forensic investigators have been assigned to the case.
The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this investigation, including video or photos, to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529 or online at: https://siu.on.ca/en/appeals.php
