A young woman who lived downstairs in a Whalley home rented by Nona McEwan told a coroner’s inquest Tuesday that the shooting victim’s boyfriend Randy Crosson, who was also shot dead by police, “wasn’t a nice person.”

“He terrorized me, quite frankly.”

She told the inquest Crosson “was always yelling and he was up all night-doing weird things.”

The inquest into the deaths of the Surrey couple killed by police during a hostage-taking in Whalley on March 29, 2019 opened April 16 in Burnaby at Coroners’ Court, on the 20th floor of Metrotower II, with Coroner Margaret Janzen presiding.
