Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has identified the victim in a police-involved shooting in Haliburton County in July.
On Thursday, the SIU said Leslie Hegedus, 73, was the individual who was fatally shot on July 15 in Haliburton County during an “interaction” with OPP officers outside a residence on Indian Point Road, just north of Haliburton.
The SIU had submitted a DNA sample to the Centre of Forensic Sciences to establish a possible next-of-kin and the results were received this week, the SIU stated Thursday.
