Mississauga, ON (16 August, 2022) ---
The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating after a Windsor Police Service officer shot a 70-year-old man in Windsor yesterday. The man died in hospital last night. He has been identified as Allan Andkilde.

Preliminary information suggests the following:

  • Windsor Police Service officers located the man. There was an interaction between the man and the officers during which one officer deployed a Conducted Energy Weapon and another officer shot the man.
  • Paramedics transported the man to hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The post-mortem exam is scheduled for tomorrow morning. 
Three investigators and three forensic investigators have been assigned to the case. One subject official and five witness officials have been designated at this time.
