One of the suspects in the killing of an Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer in late December 2022 was out on bail primarily because of his indigenous identity, which must be specially considered by judges according to federal law, according to a report.
Randall McKenzie, 25, of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation was charged with first-degree murder in the death of OPP Constable Grzegorz Pierzchala, who was shot and killed while responding to a routine call about a vehicle in a ditch near Hagersville, Ontario, on Dec. 27, 2022.
