Three men found guilty in the 2016 fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy at a west end pizza shop have been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.
Jarryl Hagley was eating with a group of friends at the Pizza Pizza on Weston Road, just north of Lawrence Avenue West, around 1:40 a.m. on Oct. 16, 2016 when gunmen entered the store and fired shots in his direction.
Hagley was struck and police found him in the restaurant’s back washroom shortly after arriving. Toronto police later confirmed that they believed Hagley was targeted.
On May 23, Mohamed Ali Nur and twin brothers, Shakiyl Shaw and Lenneil Shaw were all convicted of first-degree murder.
At the trial, the jury heard a fourth man named Winston Poyser, also charged with first-degree murder, plead guilty to the lesser offence of being an accessory after the fact to murder after giving information to police about his involvement and the involvement of others in the shooting.
