A witness to the police shooting of First Nations man Aubrey Donahue says armed tactical police said nothing to the man immediately before opening fire, contradicting evidence from officers that they shouted at him to “drop the knife”, a court has heard.
The pre-inquest hearing on Thursday was also told there was no recorded evidence of the moments before the 27-year-old was shot on 25 March 2023 because none of the specialist officers involved were wearing body-worn cameras.
