The widow of Joshua Samaroo, Kaia Sealy, has refuted the official police account of the events that resulted in her husband’s death. She insists that Samaroo was unarmed and non-threatening when police shot him. On the day of the incident, Sealy and Samaroo were running errands when an unexpected interaction with the police occurred in Maloney. Sealy recalls a marked police vehicle approaching them and an officer stepping out with his firearm drawn, which led Samaroo to reverse their car. Sealy maintains that her husband did not possess a weapon and that the police did not clearly issue any instructions before pursuing them. The chase ended when their vehicle lost control, and Samaroo raised his hands in a compliant gesture. Nonetheless, the officers opened fire, and she was struck by bullets. A video by I.A.N News supports her account, showing Samaroo with his hands raised before being shot. Sealy’s assertions contradict the police’s version, which alleges a ‘shoot-out’. She continues to recover from injuries sustained during the incident, while calls for transparency, accountability, and an independent investigation into Samaroo’s death intensify.
