Protesters gathered outside Police Headquarters on Friday demanding progress in the investigation into the police killing of 18-year-old Kahleel Simon, who was shot in Bolans on August 27 \u2014 the day he turned 18.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Family members led the demonstration, saying they are losing patience and fear the case is stalling. Supporters held signs calling for accountability and vowed to keep public pressure on authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simon\u2019s death has fuelled anger in Bolans, where residents say the community is exhausted by recurring fatal encounters involving young men.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Acting Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers said investigators are still taking statements and reviewing evidence, and confirmed an autopsy has been completed. He did not outline next steps in the probe.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Relatives insist the shooting was unjustified and claim Simon was given no meaningful opportunity to comply before he was shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday\u2019s action follows weeks of similar demonstrations, with organisers promising to continue until there is a clear outcome.<\/p>
