The detectives led Brenda Hind upstairs, into a little room at Toronto police headquarters. There was a table and chairs, some people from victim services, and a computer with a surveillance video on it from the morning her brother died.

They told Brenda that the clip was graphic. She could ask them to turn it off at any point.

“I wanted to see for myself what really happened,” she said. “I needed to know.”

It was summer, months after an off-duty security guard shot and killed her 39-year-old brother, Ryan Hind, and his friend Donny Ouimette, 25, inside an east-end McDonald’s, around 3 a.m. on Feb. 28, 2015.

In the silent, grainy video, Brenda saw the armed guard in the restaurant, on a break from his job with GardaWorld. He stood at the counter and looked at the menu. Her brother and Ouimette had stopped in at the restaurant after spending the night at several bars.

“Next you see (Ouimette),” Brenda said. “He came up pretty quickly and body checked the security guard. It was not a little push, it was a body check.”
