The family of Steven Nguyen is disappointed with the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team’s investigation into his death. 

Due to the sensitive and/or legal subject matter of some of the content on globalnews.ca, we reserve the ability to disable comments from time to time.The family of Steven Nguyen , who was shot to death by police nearly three years ago, is disappointed in Alberta's justice system. Police watchdog ASIRT has now said there are reasonable grounds to believe an offence was committed. But as Erik Bay reports, the Alberta Crown Prosecutor Service said charges will not be laid.

In a written report provided to ASIRT, Doduk said he fired after Nguyen pulled out what he thought was a gun and pointed it.“He was a father. He was a son,” Solano said. “He was somebody to somebody. He was an uncle. And what happened to him was not right. It was not fair.”ASIRT said there are reasonable grounds to believe an offence was committed.

“In hindsight, the perception of the constable was mistaken, and the result was tragic, but the action taken could not be proven to be criminal. Given this conclusion, no charges were recommended.”Story continues below advertisement“It’s baffling how anyone could come to this conclusion.”
