inquest monitoring
Summary
Link to inquest report
Lance Muir came to his death on May 9, 2010, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. On that day, he was the
driver of a vehicle that accelerated rapidly at a member of the Winnipeg Police Service
(WPS) who stopped the vehicle by discharging his firearm, causing Mr. Muir’s death. The
inquest judge concluded that, nothing could have been done by the WPS officer to change the
outcome of the matter. Given the evidence and the court’s findings and conclusion, no
recommendations were made. Status of review – completed May 14, 2018. As there were no
recommendations for the ombudsman to monitor, we did not issue a final report to the
provincial chief judge. We notified the WPS of our receipt of the inquest report and closed
our file.
