Ontario’s police watchdog says a man in Windsor is dead after police shot him following an alleged armed robbery Wednesday night.
The Special Investigations Unit says initial reports allege the 40-year-old man was armed with a knife and had robbed a convenience store on Sandwich Street.
The SIU says police later found the man in the area of Rankin Avenue and Wyandotte Street, and there was an “interaction” where police deployed energy weapons, also known as Tasers or stun guns.
The SIU says two officers shot the man with firearms, and he was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The agency is mandated to investigate any case where police conduct may have resulted in death or serious injury.
It says three investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned to the case.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 19, 2026.
