The Scarlettwood neighbourhood saw a similar random killing two months later in mid-March when 26-year-old Nnamdi Ogba was approached from behind and shot in the back.
Police said he was an innocent bystander in what they call a “turf war.”
Two men were charged with first-degree murder in connection with Ogba’s death after police executed several search warrants last month.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS.
