Lawyers Demand Justice After Quebec Teen’s Death

Lawyers representing the family of Nooran Rezayi , a 15-year-old boy fatally shot by police in Longueuil, Quebec, are calling for accountability after allegations of interference in the investigation. Rezayi was killed on September 21, 2025 , in a suburban neighborhood south of Montreal. Quebec’s police watchdog (BEI) has accused local officers of questioning witnesses and attempting to obtain video footage , actions that could compromise the independence of the probe. Lawyers for Rezayi’s family insist such interference cannot go unpunished. The family has filed a $2.2 million lawsuit against the Longueuil police and the city, claiming “unreasonable and disproportionate force” was used against the unarmed teen. His mother, Fahima Rezayi, has urged authorities to ensure accountability, stressing that “this must never happen again.” The case has sparked outrage and renewed calls for reform in Quebec’s policing system.

S&P 500 Futures Retreat from 6,000 Milestone as Post-Election Rally Eases

 

Premarket Update: The S&P 500 futures have dipped below the 6,000-point mark, cooling off after a significant rally driven by Donald Trump’s presidential election victory and a recent interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

On Thursday, the S&P 500 futures surpassed the 6,000 milestone for the first time, buoyed by expectations of a more business-friendly regulatory environment under Trump’s administration and the Fed’s 25 basis point rate cut. However, the momentum has slowed as traders digest the implications of Trump’s proposed fiscal policies, which include expansive spending plans and potential tariff hikes.

Despite the slight pullback, the overall market sentiment remains positive. The Dow and S&P 500 are on track for their best week in nearly a year, while the Nasdaq is set for its best performance in two months. Investors are also keeping an eye on upcoming economic data, including the University of Michigan’s preliminary consumer sentiment survey for November and a speech by Federal Reserve Board Governor Michelle Bowman.

Michael Brown, a senior research strategist at Pepperstone, noted that strong earnings and economic growth, coupled with the Fed’s supportive stance, are expected to continue driving the market higher in the medium term. However, the path forward may be complicated by inflationary pressures stemming from Trump’s fiscal policies.

As the market adjusts to the new political landscape, traders have trimmed expectations for further rate cuts next year, leading to a rise in bond yields. The immediate impact on Wall Street has been relatively muted, with all three major indexes closing around record highs on Thursday.
