Osawe was shot once in the back at close range by Toronto police Const. Day two of the coroner’s inquest into the death of 26-year-old Eric Osawe focused on the testimony of three officers at the scene of his apartment when he was fatally shot by police in 2010. Andrew Bozzer had been in the room with Cavanagh attempting to apprehend Osawe when the gun fired. Cavanagh and Osawe engaged in a struggle that wound up on the floor, with Osawe eventually on his stomach. Payne said he told a distressed Cavanagh that the accidental shot could have happened to anyone on the team.
