Marchers remember Fredy Villanueva three years after his death

Seventy-five people gathered in Montreal North to remember Fredy Villanueva on Sunday afternoon. He was shot and killed by Montreal police three years ago. 

The coroner’s report into the death has yet to be completed. The investigation has brought to light many flaws in the current system that looks into police shootings in Quebec. In Ontario, an independent civilian body leads investigations into police shootings. 

Villanueva was 18 when he died. Fredy’s brother Dany is currently facing deportation to the family’s native Hondouras. Authorities believe Dany has ties to street gangs.
