"Chase was walking, non aggressively, away from the RCMP. There wasn't much de-escalation. They were yelling," mom Crystal de Balinhard told Global News
Crystal de Balinhard said it is the small moments and the big milestones with her son, Chase, that she misses the most.
She told Global News she is still left with questions about her neurodivergent son, who died at the hands of police.
On Feb. 10, Surrey RCMP responded to reports of a person with a weapon near an elementary school near 70 Avenue and 185 Street.
The Independent Investigations Office of BC (IIO) said there was interaction on someone’s private property between the individual and police during which police fired a weapon.
The victim was 15-year-old Chase, a student at Clayton Heights Secondary School.
“We won’t know until the investigation is over,” de Balinhard said.
“Chase was walking, non-aggressively, away from the RCMP. There wasn’t much de-escalation. They were yelling.”
Chase was walking around his neighbourhood with a pellet gun that was not loaded, de Balinhard told Global News.
