The families of the five teenagers who were with 15-year-old Nooran Rezayi when he was shot dead by Longueuil police are suing the city and the police force for $1.9 million.
Rezayi was killed Sept. 21, 2025, after police responded to a 911 call about a group of youth wearing masks in a residential neighbourhood.
The statement of claim filed at Quebec Superior Court criticizes the actions of officers, alleging racial profiling played a key role in Rezayi’s avoidable death.
The allegations in the lawsuit have not been tested in court.
Quebec’s police watchdog, known as the BEI, submitted its report into the incident on March 11, which Public Security Minister Ian Lafrenière said he was open to making public.
Longueuil’s police chief has previously said his officers are sharing the grief felt by the community and that they were co-operating with the provincial watchdog.
The plaintiffs are not identified in the lawsuit to protect the identity of minors, who are all between the ages of 15 and 17.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 19, 2026.
