Jonathan Styres Jun 2026

Khill was charged with second-degree murder. His legal team argued that he acted in self-defence, citing his military training which taught him to "neutralize the threat." Khill testified that he believed Styres had a gun, though only a small knife was found on Styres' person. The jury ultimately acquitted Khill, a verdict that led to widespread protests and outcries from Indigenous leaders who compared the case to the killing of Colten Boushie in Saskatchewan.
