MIRAMICHI, N.B. — A coroner’s inquest into the RCMP fatal shooting of an Indigenous man in New Brunswick is hearing the 911 calls and police radio transmissions from June 12, 2020.
Rodney Levi was shot dead by police on that day in Sunny Corner, N.B., after officers responded to a complaint about a disturbance at a home.
Two members of the MacLeod family, who lived at the home, are heard in the audio recordings telling a 911 dispatcher that Levi appears to be under the influence of something and armed with two kitchen knives.
Police radio transmissions were also played at the inquest today, in which an officer is heard saying, “shots fired, shots fired,” and “we need medics here now.”
