The victims were found Monday night, and the perpetrator was killed by police gunfire.
Ottawa Police identified the victims of a fatal stabbing incident Monday night in the Alta Vista neighborhood of the city that ended with the suspect being shot dead by police officers.
Police said that 15-year-old Jasmine Reedy and 50-year-old Ann Marie Reedy died in the June 27 homicide.
On the other hand, Riwat Dionandan, an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa, said he knows Ann Marie Reedy, although he had not spoken to her for several years.
He said: "I have fond memories of a wonderful woman." "She was very intelligent, as well as a devoted mother."
Officials did not name the suspects.
According to Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU), police were called to a home on Anoka Street around 10:30 p.m. after receiving a 911 call.
When officers arrived at the house, they encountered a man stabbing a woman on the nearby street, said a spokesperson for the Independent Police Oversight Authority. Three officers then fired shots at the 21-year-old man when he refused to drop his knife, killing him in the process.
The Special Investigations Unit said the volley of gunfire also hit the woman.
The Special Investigations Unit reported that a woman was found nearby. The 19-year-old woman stabbed by the man was taken to hospital, and paramedics said Tuesday she suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Neighbors said the house at 1273 Anoka Street is owned by a woman with two daughters. The neighborhood is quiet, and they expressed shock at the killings.
While neither the police nor the Special Investigations Unit identified the suspect.
