3 Opp Officers Charged With Manslaughter In Police Shooting Death Of Boy

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been investigating after they say Ontario Provincial Police officers shot the boy’s father in his car in Kawartha Lakes, Ont., after he allegedly kidnapped his child on Nov. 26, 2020. The child, identified by the SIU as 18-month-old Jameson Shapiro, died that day, while the father died of a gunshot wound about a week later. The SIU says three OPP constables — Nathan Vanderheyden, Kenneth Pengelly and Grayson Cappus — have been charged with one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of criminal negligence causing death in connection with the boy’s death. “When a tragedy like this happens, it affects families, the community and our entire service. It’s devastating when an innocent life is lost during an incident,” OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrick said in a statement Wednesday. “We thank members of the public for waiting for the SIU’s findings, rather than speculating about what happened. We respect the SIU’s mandate and responsibilities and will not comment further as this matter progresses through the appropriate legal processes.” The SIU says the officers are scheduled to appear in a Lindsay, Ont., court on Oct. 6. The agency had previously said evidence suggested police gunfire killed both the boy and his father.
