The west end of Toronto saw yet another shooting early Monday morning. A 15-year-old named Devonte Gondwe-Prosper, also known as “Bug-zee,” was shot in the face when he answered the door of an apartment. Now Metro Toronto police have issued a murder warrant for 18-year-old Sheronnie Thomas.
Both Mr. Gondwe-Prosper and Mr. Thomas were "known to police", as they say, and the cops helpfully supplied their photos to the media. I say "helpfully" because Thomas is still at large, and the police hope the public will help find him. (In the west end of Toronto it's not exactly like looking for a blackberry in a saucer of milk, you know.) Hence the photo.
Readers of the Toronto Star who might be inclined to keep an eye out for Mr. Thomas will have to use their imaginations, though, since the Star, for some reason, declined to print the picture distributed by the police.Walt's readers are invited to explain, in 25 words or less, the reasoning behind the Star's decision. Sorry, no prize for figuring this one out.
