The 2025 Ontario Homicide Victim List is available here

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says its director has found reasonable grounds to believe an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer may have committed a criminal offence in connection with a fatal shooting in Norfolk County last August. The incident involved a 22-year-old man who died after being shot during an attempted arrest following a police pursuit on Lake Erie.

According to the SIU investigation, officers tried to stop the man while he was operating a personal watercraft on August 12, 2025. He allegedly fled, left the watercraft near the MacDonald Turkey Point Marina, and ran into a wooded area. During the arrest attempt that followed, an officer discharged their firearm, and the man was pronounced dead at the scene. As a result, Constable Quade Odrowski has been charged with manslaughter and released with conditions, with a court appearance scheduled for June 2, 2026. The SIU says it will not comment further while the case is before the courts.
