Steve was a member of the Kativik Regional Police Department.
He and another constable were responding to a domestic violence call at about 9:30 p.m.
A male subject opened fire on both constables as they exited their patrol car, fatally wounding Constable Dery and wounding the other constable. The man then barricaded himself inside of the home. His body was recovered on March 3, 2013. It is believed he committed suicide.
The Kativik Regional Police Force was created in 1996 to serve communities in Nunavik, which comprises the northern third of the province. Kuujjuaq is the largest northern village in the region, with a population of about 2,400.
