Const. Andrew Davis pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm and careless use of a firearm for shooting Devon Fowlin in a Toronto park. He had been later charged with aggravated assault and discharging a firearm with intent to maim, wound, disfigure or endanger life. Officers were called Feb. 27, 2023, for a report of a man with a knife at Black Creek Drive and Trethewey Drive. Two officers used Tasers and Davis fired two shots, seriously injuring Fowlin, who later recovered. Fowlin said police did not try to de-escalate. A police chief's report found Davis used unnecessary force and acted in a "disorderly manner."
Davis was facing different charges than the ones he pleaded guilty to for his role in the shooting of Devon Fowlin in February 2023. Months after that shooting, Davis was charged with aggravated assault and discharging a firearm with intent to maim, wound, disfigure or endanger life. On Feb. 27 of that year, officers were called to a park in the area of Black Creek Drive
Two officers discharged Tasers at the man, while another officer Davis fired his gun twice. Fowlin, the man shot in the incident, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, but later recovered. Since then, Fowlin has spoken out about the shooting, saying police did not try to de-escalate the situation before firing at him. A report from Toronto's police chief last year found Davis used unnecessary force against Fowlin.
