So, farewell then, Theo Tiku. You were "known to the police", as the saying goes. And now you are no more, having received a severe case of lead poisoning near Danforth and Pape on Monday night.
Toronto police say the 27-year-old man had ties to street gangs and drug trafficking. Det. Mike Carbone said, "There is no doubt in our mind he was targeted." There seems to be some doubt in their mind though about who targeted Theo. No description of the assailants has been released.
About 27 hours after Theo got what was coming to him, a 24-year-old man was shot to death not far from a townhouse complex (you know what I mean) near Keele and Finch. "There's no doubt in our mind he was targeted," said Det. Mike Carboncopy. [Are you sure about this? ed.] No description of the victim or the assailants has yet been released. Police do, however, say that one of the murderers was carrying a silver handgun and wearing a black Blue Jays baseball cap. [Was it on backwards? ed.]
And this afternoon, a man "in his twenties" was shot in the head outside a home near Midland Ave. and Eglinton Ave. E. We don't know yet if it's a homicide but there's no doubt in the mind of the police that this was a targeted hit. [One more time and you're fired. ed.] Police say they are searching for several suspects who scattered in different directions after shots were fired. Police did not say whether the suspects were wearing baseball caps or hoodies.
So that's three (just making an assumption) gang-style executions in as many days in Toronto the good. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the other two victims were, like Theo, of the coloured persuasion.
But I will not be out on a limb at all when I predict that the race of the suspects will never be mentioned by the gutless but oh-so-politically-correct Toronto media until they go to trial or hell freezes over, whichever occurs first.
