RELATIVES of Kern Fraser and Sheckeela Davis, who were both killed in a police-involved shooting on Waterloo Road Carapichaima on Thursday morning, say they intend to file a complaint with the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) over their deaths.

Reports say police were searching the area for two suspects in a shooting incident.

They arrested one man at Mungal Trace, Orangefield Road, Carapichaima and based on the information received, they then went to Fraser’s home.

Police said when they entered Fraser’s home at around 4 am and confronted him, he was still in bed and allegedly shot at them from under a blanket.

Officers shot back, and when they lifted the blanket, they found Fraser and Davis with gunshot wounds.

Police say they also found an illegal gun.

Fraser’s family is disputing the police’s version of events and says the police’s actions have raised several questions.

As family members looked on while the blood-stained mattress on which Fraser and Davis were shot lay burning behind the house, a relative cast doubts on claims by the police that they identified themselves.

She said none of the other people living in the house heard them call out before they broke down the door.

“They never hear nothing about police come. All they just hear is shooting.

“Nobody never identify themself because, before, if they (police) came, they will come with a warrant and say, ‘Police, police, we have a warrant and we come to search,’ but nothing like that happened Thursday morning.”

Showing Newsday pictures of bullet holes in the bedroom wall, the relative said the police’s actions were “reckless” as Fraser’s family members were sleeping in the adjacent room.

“All of them living right there. They could have gotten shot because it’s just a wall that is blocking them off. It’s only gunshots they heard.

“They had to go on the ground and lie down because it was shots after shots they were hearing. They (police) kick down the door and just start to shoot. They never say police, and they never identify themselves.”

They say Davis’ death raises even more questions about the officers' actions.

“They say they didn’t even know (Davis) was under the cover and it’s only when they raised (the blanket) then they saw her on the bed. So if it was his daughter on the bed now?”

Relatives say the police’s story did not add up and asked why the police did not surround the house and give Fraser a chance to surrender.

“The two of them were sleeping. If somebody kick down your door, you going to jump up frightened and want to know what is going on. You not going and get up with a gun in your hand to shoot one time.”

They said they found it unlikely that police could have a confrontation with Fraser and not realise Davis was in the bed with him.

They said although Fraser “kept bad company”, he did not deserve to die in that manner.
