A San Fer­nan­do com­mu­ni­ty is dis­put­ing a po­lice ac­count of a fa­tal shoot­ing, in­sist­ing 45-year-old Shiv­nath Jo­gie was un­jus­ti­fi­ably killed at his home, as calls grow for body cam­eras to bring clar­i­ty to such en­coun­ters.

Jo­gie, 45, of Rail­way Line Road, Vic­to­ria Vil­lage, was shot by of­fi­cers who re­spond­ed to re­ports of a vi­o­lent al­ter­ca­tion yes­ter­day.

Po­lice said they were called to a chop­ping in the area and found Jo­gie armed with a cut­lass and a ham­mer. Ac­cord­ing to their re­port, of­fi­cers at­tempt­ed to en­gage him, but he ad­vanced to­wards them, forc­ing them to open fire. He was tak­en to the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, where he lat­er died.
