New Brunswick RCMP requests SIRT to investigate shooting incident involving police

The New Brunswick RCMP has requested the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT), an independent agency, to review police actions following a shooting incident involving RCMP members in Moncton, N.B.

On September 27, 2025, at approximately 1:51 p.m., members from the Codiac Regional RCMP responded to a report of a man robbing a business on Mountain Road with a firearm. The man fled the business on foot and entered a nearby residence. Police arrived on scene and set up a containment area while the man fired shots from the residence. After lighting the residence and a parked car on fire, he then fled again on foot. During the response, a member discharged their firearm at the man, and he was pronounced dead on scene.

The New Brunswick RCMP is committed to being accountable and transparent to the communities it serves, and has referred the incident to SiRT for an independent investigation.

The investigation is ongoing.
