This 28-year-old Black man was shot by police. Here's a timeline of what happened

The coroner's inquest is set to begin on Friday to examine the death of Jamal Francique, a 28-year-old black man who was shot and killed by police during an attempted robbery in 2020. Here are some of the key dates in the case. January 7, 2020, Peel Police officers confront Francique while he is in a car, according to Ontario's police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit. There is an interaction as officers try to arrest him. And one officer shoots him multiple times, including once in the head. His family later says Francique was unarmed and living with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. And then on January 9, 2020, Francique dies in hospital after several days on life support. Then we go to August 23, 2020. Family and friends of Francique gather in Brampton for a rally and barbecue. They are joined by loved ones of DeAndre Campbell, another black man shot dead by Peel Police. Francique's father, Derek Francique, says the family wants answers. And then on January 20th, 2021, the SIU finds there are no reasonable grounds to lay charges against the officer who shot Francique. In a report, the agency's director, Joseph Martino, says the officer feared for his life when Francique drove at him during a botched arrest. But Martino says there are legitimate questions about the officer's conduct. Francique's family contests the findings, and their lawyer says the report has several deficiencies. Fast forward to June 2022, Francique's family files a lawsuit against the police, the paramedics, the SIU, and others. And that brings us to October 23rd of this year. A coroner's inquest is announced in Francique's death. And that leads us to today, November 13th, where the inquest begins, and it is set to last for 11 days. Nav Nanwa, CBC News, Mississauga.
