Girlfriend of man fatally shot by Edmonton police speaks: ‘We were surrounded’

The girlfriend of the 34-year-old wanted man shot and killed by police in southeast Edmonton Wednesday is sharing her perspective of what happened in the parking lot of the Urban Village condo complex.

Melissa Dumais says she was in the truck with her boyfriend of a month and a half, Buck Evans — as well as a friend — when they were pulled over by police.

Edmonton Police Service Insp. Trevor Hermanutz said that around 2 p.m. Wednesday, officers were “conducting surveillance on a vehicle carrying a male with a number of outstanding warrants and who was believed to be armed and dangerous.”
