At a public hearing on the Vancouver Police Department’s conduct regarding the 2015 death of Myles Gray, his mother, Margie Gray, described her profound grief after learning of her son’s death following a police altercation. Seven VPD officers denied using excessive force, despite Gray suffering severe injuries during the incident. The hearing, which will include over 30 witnesses, aims to determine whether the officers abused their authority, amid previous investigations that cleared them of wrongdoing. Margie and other family members expressed frustration over the perceived focus on Gray’s character rather than the officers’ actions.
