TORONTO — Police have arrested and charged three men in connection with the targeted killing of 25-year-old Neeko Mitchell outside of an Etobicoke community centre in Nov. 2013.
Mitchell was shot multiple times on the evening of Nov. 24, 2013 outside of the North Kipling Community Centre at 2 Rowntree Rd. near Kipling and Finch Avenue in Rexdale. Police said he was there to watch his brother play basketball.

Mitchell was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition but later succumbed to his injuries.
Police said at a press conference a week after his death that he was shot with “high velocity ammunition” that went through his body and that he was killed “execution style.”
“Considering there were a number of people standing in the immediate area of the shooting, we are very fortunate that no one else was shot,” Det.-Sgt. Brian Borg said at the time.
