TORONTO—Hundreds marched here May 6 to demand justice for Jeffrey Reodica, a Filipino youth fatally shot in the back by a plainclothes cop in 2004. After a two-year fight by family and supporters, the Ontario chief coroner announced an inquest starting May 8. A Special Investigations Unit decision had cleared the cop. “My son was executed. We will not rest until we get justice,” Flora Reodica, mother of Jeffrey, told protesters.
