The province’s police watchdog is investigating following a fatal police-involved shooting that left a 20-year-old man dead in Kitchener Thursday night.

Officers with the Waterloo Regional Police Service say were called to a residence on Brybeck Crescent at around 9:15 p.m.

After arriving on scene, a man was shot during an altercation with police.

He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead at 10:10 p.m.

Police have not said why they were called to the address.

In a release issued Friday afternoon, Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit identified the man as Beau Aaron Baker.

The SIU has assigned five investigators and three forensic investigators to look into the deadly shooting.

Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators at 416-622-1935 or 800-787-8529 ext. 1935.

The SIU is an arm's-length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
