Kaoss Price’s mother is fighting for justice as she challenges the police decision not to charge officers involved in her son’s fatal shooting—unarmed and 22 years old—in April 2022. The High Court judicial review highlights glaring flaws: the officer wasn’t interviewed until nearly two weeks later, was repeatedly called “mate,” and a 15-month probe ended in a two-page letter. Despite an Independent Police Conduct Authority finding the shooting unjustified and excessive force used, prosecutors declined charges. The family argues the investigation lacked independence, transparency, and explored critical alternatives like using a taser. With four Māori men killed by police in Taranaki since 2000, the case demands accountability—and the Attorney-General’s team will argue next. The family sits in court, determined to see their son’s life honored through legal reckoning.
