“Our hearts fell when we learned of the shooting of Mathios Arkangelo by Edmonton Police Services (EPS). In meeting with his family, the grief of Mathios’ loved ones is palpable. His death is a horrific tragedy that leaves the African, Caribbean and Black communities in anguish. We stand with the Arkangelo family and we join them in mourning Mathios’ death and asking why so many young racialized people die in encounters with police. The hearts of Albertans in African, Caribbean and Black communities are broken, as is their relationship with law enforcement.
