A month af­ter po­lice shot and killed Joshua Sama­roo af­ter a high-speed chase that start­ed in Mal­oney and end­ed in St Au­gus­tine, Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro has con­firmed that in­ves­ti­ga­tors in the mat­ter have met with of­fi­cials from the of­fice of the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP), in what he de­scribed as an “ini­tial meet­ing.”

Sama­roo was shot and killed by po­lice on Jan­u­ary 20, af­ter of­fi­cers pur­sued the ve­hi­cle he was dri­ving from Mal­oney.

Dur­ing the chase, po­lice claim they were shot at by him and re­turned fire.

Se­cu­ri­ty cam­era footage of the in­ci­dent, which sur­faced on so­cial me­dia, showed po­lice shoot­ing Sama­roo while he ap­par­ent­ly tried to sur­ren­der af­ter he crashed his car in St Au­gus­tine.

Dur­ing the shoot­ing, Sama­roo’s com­mon-law wife Ka­ia Sealy was wound­ed.

Re­spond­ing to ques­tions on whether there have been any up­dates on the en­quiry, Gue­var­ro said he could on­ly con­firm that of­fi­cers in­volved in the en­quiry met with the DPP.

No oth­er in­for­ma­tion was made avail­able.

Po­lice-in­volved shoot­ings are usu­al­ly in­ves­ti­gat­ed by a First Di­vi­sion Of­fi­cer (FDO), which is a po­lice of­fi­cer at the rank of As­sis­tant Su­per­in­ten­dent of Po­lice (ASP) or high­er.
