  "account": "An inquest into the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Eishia Hudson by police has called for reforms in police procedures. The girl was killed in April 2020 after officers pursued a stolen Jeep she was driving following a liquor store robbery. Police pursued the vehicle, leading it to ram a police cruiser and other cars before an officer fired the fatal shots.\n\nEishia Hudson’s family and lawyers argue that the police service must improve its training on when to end a chase. Dayna Steinfeld, the inquest lawyer, highlighted that Eishia was well-loved and that her future was tragically cut short. She suggested that the police service should reevaluate its approach towards young people and review cultural competency training.",
