Mr Nkencho, 27, was killed outside his west Dublin home in December 2020 after being shot multiple times by members of a Garda armed support unit while allegedly brandishing a knife.
The family of George Nkencho say GSOC's decision to send a file on his fatal shooting by a Garda to the Director of Public Prosecutions brings them a "sense of relief and hope".
Mr Nkencho’s sister Gloria said: "This development brings us a sense of relief and hope as it signifies the potential for criminal charges to be brought against the officers responsible for George's death. "It is our sincere hope that the DPP will proceed with the utmost diligence and bring forth the appropriate criminal charges."Mr Nkencho was shot dead outside his Clonee home after a stand-off with armed gardai and he refused to put away a kitchen knife on December 30, 2020.
She also expressed the family's "profound disappointment in the political response, or rather the lack thereof."
