Police have completed their investigation into the death of 18-year-old Khaleel Simon and have forwarded the matter to the coroner’s office for further review.

The update was provided during a recent police press briefing by the head of the Criminal Investigations Department, Superintendent Lisbon Michael, who confirmed that the investigative phase of the case has now concluded.

“The investigation into that matter is now completed, and that matter will be submitted to the coroner very soon,” Michael said.

The development comes after months of public interest and speculation surrounding the circumstances of Simon’s death.

Authorities did not disclose additional details about the findings of the investigation, but the coroner’s review will determine the next steps in the process.

Simon’s death has become a flashpoint for anger over what many describe as unchecked police power, with calls intensifying for the officer involved to be removed from duty pending the outcome of an investigation.

Family members led several protests, expressing grief and frustration at the lack of answers.

Relatives said they believe the officer should have been suspended immediately, arguing that the continued presence of the officer on the job undermines confidence in the process.

For Simon’s grandmother, who raised him, the loss has shattered what little trust she said remained between the community and law enforcement.

The protests were marked by raw emotion. Relatives wept openly while supporters invoked broader concerns about police accountability and corruption.

Some protesters called for systemic reforms, describing the incident as part of a wider pattern of abuse of power.
