MONTREAL — Quebec’s police watchdog, the Independent Investigation Bureau, is looking for people who witnessed police shoot a Black man in Montreal last month.
Sheffield Matthews, 41, was shot and killed on Oct. 29 in Montreal’s Cote-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grace borough.
The Bureau has set up a command post in the neighbourhood to receive information about the shooting.
Matthews was shot after he allegedly charged officers while holding a knife, according to the police’s version of events.
The Bureau says witnesses can visit the command post or email information to investigators through the agency’s website.
