June 4, 2020, Edmundston
26 year-old. Shot dead during a wellness check

Chantel Moore, a Vancouver Island woman died after being shot in New Brunswick by police.

The police version

In a statement, the Edmundston Police Force said officers were called to do a wellness check on a woman in an apartment in the city. When they arrived, she emerged with a knife and attacked an officer, according to Insp. Steve Robinson.

The Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation woman loved dirt biking and swimming, and was devoted to her family, loved ones say.

Moore was born in Edmundston, N.B., but moved to B.C. as a small child and grew up in Nanaimo and Port Alberni, her great-aunt says.

She was adopted by a family from about age four until age 14 but ran away, and was raised by her grandmother after that in Port Alberni.

She’d lived in Port Alberni for the past four years and recently saved money to move away, according to one of her siblings.

“It’s shocking. It’s appalling. Policing in North America has just so deteriorated to this point to where we are on the verge of civil unrest here,” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said.
