A Toronto man who police say fatally shot five people in his condominium building had a court hearing scheduled for the next day to determine if the building's management could evict him.
, including three members of the condo board, had a court hearing scheduled for the next day to determine if the building's management could evict him.
The attack happened the day before a scheduled online court hearing in which lawyers for the condominium corporation were set to argue that it should be allowed to evict Villi because he had spent years harassing building employees, board members and other neighbors. In court documents, the building's lawyers said Villi ignored court orders to end the harassment and stop posting online about a longstanding dispute he had with the condo's management.
Flowers are laid at the scene of a fatal mass shooting at a condominium building in the Toronto suburb of Vaughan, Ontario, on Dec. 19, 2022."The Condominium submits that a penalty directing Villi to sell and vacate his unit within 90 days of the resolution of this matter is the only meaningful punishment that will serve the dual purposes of a finding of contempt," lawyers for the building wrote to the court.

She noted that the case had dragged on for years.
John Di Nino, who is president of the board, said he thinks the gunman meant to shoot him instead of his wife, but she answered the door.
