A public hearing will be held to examine the conduct of seven Vancouver police officers in the beating death of Myles Gray, with Police Complaint Commissioner Prabhu Rajan saying there is “meaningful uncertainty as to what happened” that day in August 2015.

In a statement issued by his office, Rajan says the alleged misconduct is serious, and it is “appropriate for the public to know that the best available evidence has been gathered, tested, and considered before a final decision is made.”
