According to VIPD Public Information Officer Glen Dratte, the 911 emergency call centre received notification of a disturbance in the shopping and professional centre’s parking lot Wednesday June 12, 2019 and immediately dispatched officers to the scene.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a male individual, identified as 23-year-old Jahkoy Bolques, who police confirmed to be a local mentally ill patient.
