Friends of Ka­ia Sealy and her late part­ner Joshua Sama­roo staged an­oth­er protest out­side the Po­lice Ad­min­is­tra­tion Build­ing yes­ter­day, con­demn­ing the charges laid against Sealy, call­ing for a re­sponse from Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar and de­mand­ing the res­ig­na­tion of Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro.

The cou­ple was shot on Jan­u­ary 20 fol­low­ing what po­lice de­scribed as a high-speed chase from Mal­oney to St Au­gus­tine. Video footage of the in­ci­dent, wide­ly cir­cu­lat­ed on so­cial me­dia, ap­peared to show Sama­roo sur­ren­der­ing be­fore he was fa­tal­ly shot.

A lat­er slow-mo­tion ver­sion of the footage ap­peared to sug­gest of­fi­cers re­turned fire af­ter al­leged­ly be­ing shot at by Sealy. Po­lice sub­se­quent­ly an­nounced that Sealy would be charged with manslaugh­ter in re­la­tion to Sama­roo’s death, as well as three counts of shoot­ing with in­tent at po­lice of­fi­cers.
