FAMILY OF MAN SHOT BY TORONTO POLICE FIGHTS FOR JUSTICE
32-year-old Tylor Coore was shot Tuesday, after police responded to a call about
a man with a knife in Cabbagetown. His family, who are raising money for his
legal fees, says Coore has mental health issues and needed help, not
enforcement.

The family of Tylor Coore, a 32-year-old Afro-Indigenous man from Whitebear
First Nation, has identified him as the man police shot in Cabbagetown Tuesday.
They're now fighting for justice, saying he had mental health issues and guns
should never have been involved.
The incident happened Tuesday evening in downtown Toronto, near Parliament and
Carlton streets. Police say officers responded to a report of a man in the area
with a knife. Officers began interacting with him, police say, and one shot him
with her firearm.
The man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, police said in a release
Wednesday.
The family of Tylor Coore say he's the man police shot, and that he remains in
intensive care.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), which investigates incidents involving
police in which death or serious injury occurs, invoked its mandate Tuesday and
began investigating the incident. Under the SIU Act, police and SIU said they
could neither confirm or deny the man's identity.

But the family says Coore was on the receiving end of the gunshot. They've set
up a Go Fund Me page online to help cover the cost of legal fees for Tylor. As
of Saturday afternoon, over 500 donations had been made, almost totalling the
family's target $20,000.
Coore's mother, Cheryl Maxie, says Coore has schizophrenia, and was having a
breakdown when police were called. She says a confrontation with guns wasn't
what he needed.
"My son had mental issues," she told a crowd outside Toronto Police downtown
headquarters Friday, with tears in her eyes. "You know that there's other ways
of dealing with people with mental health [issues]."

response to his mental health "breakdown" was not appropriate. (Michael Charles

Maxie was speaking at a rally organized by Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction,
and led by the family of Regis Korchinski-Paquet. She was also Afro-Indigenous
and died in 2020 after falling from her apartment balcony with police officers
present in her home. The SIU investigated that incident, ultimately clearing
officers of any wrongdoing.

The family has since been calling for police reform in the city.
Korchinski-Paquet's father spoke at Friday's rally.
"We should not have to be out here for Tylor. The police had no business doing
what they did to him," said Peter Korchinski.

the presence of officers in 2020. He said Friday police 'had no business doing

Toronto police told CBC Saturday they could not comment on the incident as it's
under investigation, deferring to SIU. CBC did not hear back from SIU before
publication Saturday.
Coore's brother, Jama Maxie, is the one who started Coore's Go Fund Me page.
Along with raising funds for legal representation, he said he hopes it will
raise awareness for the need for more mental health supports in the city.
He says he and his brother grew up separately in foster care, but formed a close
bond in their teens that's stayed strong ever since. When he heard what
happened, he says he punched a wall in frustration, breaking his hand.
"I couldn't emotionally regulate," he said in an interview Saturday.

wall in frustration upon hearing the news of his brother being shot, he says.

"You don't think those things are real. It's unimaginable," he said. "When
you're going through that you're thinking, like, am I going to be able to hug
him again?"
Maxie says although his brother remains in intensive care, he's doing better and
his breathing tube's been removed. He says his brother has struggled with mental
health, but is resilient.
"When I think of Tylor, I think of someone who's been through a lot, but he's
tough," he said.
Police did not say whether Coore had been charged in Tuesday's incident.
