On June 6, Const. Alexander Doduk shot and killed 33-year-old Steven Nguyen while responding to a weapon's complaint in Rosslyn around 11 p.m.
An investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) found several issues with Doduk's account of events, but Wednesday announced that no charges would be brought.
"As a mother, I'm heartbroken. What happened to my son, not getting justice. It kills me everyday," said Nguyen's mother, Maria Nguyen.
"What happened to my brother should have never happened. He was unarmed, he had no weapons, he didn't deserve to die," said Chris Nguyen.
The night Nguyen was killed, ASIRT said someone reported he was walking around near 107 Avenue and 134 Street with what the caller thought was a knife, ice pick or screwdriver.
When Doduk and his partner found Nguyen, a long blue handle could be seen in one of his pockets.
