This campaign is to demand a coroner's inquest into the tragic death of Nicholas (Nickalos) "Diamond" Nembhard. He was a 31-year-old Black man in Kitchener who was shot and killed by Waterloo Regional Police while experiencing a mental health crisis. This campaign has been created with the Nembhard family’s consent and collaboration by engaging in ongoing communication. Nicholas’ siblings have expressed that they need the Waterloo Region community’s support. FightBack! KW has also been supporting his sister with connecting to legal support and supporting her with post-secondary school application and preparation process, and other services so she can continue to stay in the country. Their mom and other family members are in Jamaica and they currently have no way of contacting them due to the destruction from hurricane Beryl. A Coroner's Inquest is only the first step in getting support and closure for the Nembhard’s, however right now it is something they desperately need our community's support for. We need to show that Nicholas' life mattered and police cannot kill people experiencing a mental health crisis with impunity. Please help us with our campaign!
