Kool_Kat Posted July 8, 2012 The man who was shot to death on an upscale Etobicoke residential street early Thursday was the cousin of Ahmed Hassan, who was slain in the Eaton Centre food court shooting rampage last month. Abdulle Elmi, 25, of Toronto, succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds to the torso on Thursday morning, according to findings of a post-mortem examination. Residents of Meadowbank Rd. phoned 911 after hearing gunshots around 4 a.m. Although he was killed in Etobicoke, police are seeking anyone who saw Elmi just after 3 a.m., in the area of Yonge and College Sts. Police say he may have been driven to Etobicoke. A source in the Somali community said that he was born in Canada to parents who emigrated from Somalia. The source said people close to Elmi wonder if he was lured from his home near Spadina and Dundas Sts. shortly before his death. “Maybe somebody came and called on him,” the source said. Many tweets expressing condolences for Elmi stated “#rahi mahullah,” Arabic for “Rest in Peace.” Several referred to him by his nickname of “Black Wizard.” Two people were killed and five were injured in the Eaton Centre food court shooting on June 2. Accused shooter, Christopher Husbands, 23, and the city's 21st homicide victim, Ahmed Hassan, 24, were members of the Sic Thugs street gang, according to police. Immediately after the Eaton Centre attack, Acting Deputy Chief Jeff McGuire said the shooting was not about gang business, but rather "about anger and violence." Hassan and others stabbed and robbed Husbands on Feb. 28, a public housing official said. There were shots fired outside Hassan's Regent Park apartment on Dundas St. on May 28, prompting him to move in with friends near Spadina Ave. and Alexandra Park. Elmi’s murder is Toronto’s 26th homicide of the year. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/crime/article/1222839--victim-identified-in-etobicoke-homicide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kool_Kat Posted July 8, 2012 It is not that we are not doing enough, but rather in denial that we have problems with our youth! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaliyyah Posted July 8, 2012 ^ you are right there is that denial. We have to accept our problem and then find a solution for it. Waana runtaa waa naxdin in la arko wilasheena somaliyeed magacyadooda in mesha lugu so taxo. Sabar iyo imaan to their families (I read from the article the latest guy who died is a cousin of the guy who was killed in eaton centre) That's pretty sad. I can only imagine what that family in particular is going through. walee kii raba qurbe in uu caruurtisa ku korsado, haka fakaro siduu u korino iyo meshu ku korino sheeko sahlan ma aha.. salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GaraadMon Posted July 8, 2012 There are a lot more success stories than there are failures in our communities. I don't know why people choose to focus on the lowest common denominator. I haven't seen a thread dedicated to each of the innocents murdered in Somalia this week, yet drug dealers get multi- page condolences? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Few are concerned. These people have made their choices. Don't play Russian roulette with your life as sometimes you'll lose. In the UK you used to hear this kinds of stories but it's not common anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
