A judge dismissed a request for a judicial review of an Edmonton police decision not to charge a man with killing a 13-year-old boy at a transit station.
Eric Omeasoo died in February 2025 after he was stabbed on the MacEwan LRT platform.
Justice Wayne Renke on Thursday also rejected a review of Crown prosecutors in the case.
While Omeasoo’s death was ruled a homicide, police have said charges wouldn’t be laid as there was evidence he was killed in self-defence.
Omeasoo’s family disputed what happened and demanded police share evidence with them.
The family was in court late last year to provide evidence they collected to support their allegation of abuse of process in the case.
