SIMCOE, Ontario, Jan. 18, 2022 /CNW/ – The family of Rodger Kotanko believes the gunsmith did not have to die. In a civil suit filed against Toronto police, the family alleges police unlawfully executed a search warrant and used excessive force when they shot and killed the 70-year-old in a military-style take down at his home outside Port Dover on November 3, 2021.
“The Kotanko family is holding Toronto police to account, so this doesn’t happen to someone else,” said Michael Smitiuch of Smitiuch Injury Law PC, the lawyer representing the Kotanko family. “Rodger Kotanko wasn’t able to defend himself, or his reputation, but his family will.”
