A second march in honour of a young South Surrey man fatally shot by police last summer is planned for this weekend.
Family and friends of Hudson Brooks plan to rally Sunday (Feb. 21) at 4 p.m., starting at 18 Avenue and 152 Street, as a continued call for justice for his death, according to a Facebook page created in his honour.
Brooks, 20, was shot by RCMP officers in the early morning of July 18 after, according to police, a struggle ensued between him and officers responding to reports of a man screaming outside the South Surrey RCMP detachment.
Brooks died from his injuries; an officer also suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, but police later confirmed that only police-issued firearms were found at the scene.
Little information has been released about the investigation, which is being handled but he Independent Investigations Office. Family members have repeatedly expressed frustration at the lack of answers surrounding what took place.
In October, upwards of 200 people took part in a march marking the three-month anniversary of Brooks’ death.
