TORONTO -- A six-year-old boy and his mother were "exactly in the line of gunfire" as Toronto rapper Houdini was shot to death in broad daylight, a homicide detective said Thursday.
The bullets “skipped off the ground,” Singh added, “inches from not only the little boy, but also the mother.”23 shots were fired on busy downtown sidewalkbetween two groups just outside of the Bisha Hotel & Residences along Blue Jays Way, just north of King Street West, as many passersby, including the young boy and mother, watched and screamed.Some of those who knew him said he had a “very promising future in music.
A suspect vehicle, a rented blue Volkswagen Tiguan, was “lying in wait” for 40 minutes before Jenkins and the three others emerge in the area, police said. The same Volkswagen Tiguan was found torched in York Region late Wednesday night. It is now being forensically analyzed. An innocent bystander, a 27-year-old woman, was also hit by gunfire during the shooting. She is not seen in any of the surveillance footage released by police on Thursday. She is also expected to survive.Along with the 27-year-old woman, the six-year-old boy and the child’s mother, many innocent passersby were out on the downtown street on that Tuesday afternoon.
“We’re hoping that the public will see this heart-wrenching video, and specifically to the members that were in that vehicle, this is unacceptable, we had a very young family, specifically a six-year-old boy, who was in the area of this specific gunfire and this gunfight that occurred, many causalities could have occurred,” Singh said.Suspects have ‘no care in the world’
At least the gun man had his mask on lol
Maybe it was corona viris he had
Any of JustinTrudeau restricted guns used? Probably not
Why cops said that they don't think this is gangs related? Normal people doesn't carry the gun on the street in Canada, for sure this is drug dealer gangs related due to business regions.
Wow horrifying!
Good thing trudeau and blair banned the scary guns that law abiding citizens own.......
the gun ban is working too well.. thanks for nothing liberal_party
They were just joggin bro
Time to ban rapers
So explain to me how banning assult weapons owned by legal gun owners is making streets safer?
Keep taking guns away from law abiding citizens who use them for hunting and target practicing while gang members continue to obtain guns illegally and use them to murder. LiberalLogic LeftistLogic
Feral savages.
They really should ban shooting up the streets in Toronto. Banning handguns wont be enough... 😉
So the person holding the pistol must be an RPAL holder, right
JTs gun control move gonna stop this?
Look at these fucking gang bangers. Will you deny reality? Yet, the government is after legal gun owners. We are so weak
Ahhh, Canada’s finest individuals right there... I’m sure they are all valid PAL holders! NOT
But how is this possible? Isn’t murder illegal? Surely if we make something illegal, it will stop, right BillBlair ?
I'm confused. I don't see the legally purchased 'assault-style' rifle or single shot 50 BMG long range target rifle or bolt action 460 Weatherby... But BillBlair said his gun ban would make us safer!
Yup. Illegal smuggled guns and violent criminal gangs. But more bike lanes.
As Houdini is getting killed, its our rights that are making the disappearing act.
quick act like banning guns from legal owners will stop this! LiberalLogic
But, Liberals banned guns?
You'd think with a handle like ' houdini 'there my be an innocent bullet catching trick gone wrong ? Maybe he died from CCP virus
Gun ban. Lockdown. All working.
Instead of focusing on who to give tickets to for covid infractions maybe our police can actually work on trying to catch these bad guys, but what's the point when they are in and out of prison like a hotel room. This whole system needs to change and become more strict.
Hopefully we can achieve a Baltimore/ Chicago style gun free zone.
But hey!!!! More important in Toronto , ITS TAMPON day!!!!!!
Who wants to bet these guys don't have firearms licenses? Can BillBlair please explain how taking legally owned guns limits these types of incidents? I'd really like to know in your infinite wisdom. Also looks like it was a hand gun used, not a MiLiTaRy AsSaUlt RiFlE.
I am pretty sure these are legally owned firearms
Stupid hunters!
PAL license holders?
Hey, at least no one was carded. Oh wait, does that maybe have something to do with why these animals are comfortable driving around loaded up in broad daylight. Hmmmmm
Damned licensed target shooters at it again !
Those damn hunters and farmers and their deer rifles
Diversityisourstrength LetTorontoBurn
Toronto...,what a Canadian embarrassment.
I wonder if that gun was legally purchased in Canada...
Can we stop calling him a rapper.
Every dollar spent confiscating firearms from licensed target shooters (the safest demographic in the country) is one less dollar being spent addressing the issue. Trudeau’s gun ban is a detriment to public safety
Trudeau's assault rifle ban really working isn't ?
💔
Now why don’t you ask why Bill Blair’s focus is to take guns away from legal gun owner while ignoring actual crime? Wise up people no one took assault weapons away they were never here. If 2 million legal gun owners were a problem you would know !
The bloodshed will continue when we focus legislation at the sport shooting and hunting communites with rifle bans.
Thugs killing thugs.....no loss.
I'm guessing we won't be hearing about 'Black Lives Matter' or it was police brutality. See double standards and hypocrisy is owned by one and all. Life only matters when it meets someones social and political agenda.
More control on firearms, not less.
No doubt it was a legal firarm owners rifle that did this.
Toronto should be renamed Chicago North.
And the police are where, must be enjoying their tim hortons ..
Idiots can’t do their cowardice acts away from real law abiding citizens?
How many white people pulling the trigger in the video just for the record? Yeah nothing said when you run the streets acting like fckn criminals though huh?
gun ban working just fine liberals 🤷🏻♂️
The real Houdini would’ve just made the guns disappear.
Keep mass-importing Thugs and their crap culture from Third World toilet bowls. Multikulti is a vicious lie.
Toronto gun violence is responsible for the majority of our shootings. Why Trudumb decided to use the deaths of the Nova Scotia victims to take guns from licensed owners is pathetic.
Oh my God, what is going on in Toronto?
That’s insane! 🤦♀️🤭😠
Trudeau said his legal gun ban would stop gun violence. I guess legal gun owners weren't the problem after all.
