Follow-up to "Gorillas in our midst"

Early Sunday morning, 18-year-old Tevon Williams was shot dead outside the site of a birthday party in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough. Mr. Williams was black. A neighbour checking out the crime scene said he vaguely knew the victim, who he said lived with his mother in a nearby condo. He didn't know the whereabouts of the victim's father. Police are looking for the gunmen who may be described as _____ and who may have spoken with ______ accents. You fill in the blanks.

Less than 12 hours later, and in the same part of Toronto, a 20-year-old man was swarmed and killed by up to five other men armed with a hammer and at least one knife. There is no description of the suspects or the victim. Hands up, all those who think those involved were white or Chinese. No-one? Hey? I don't see any hands...
