Stabbings kill woman, 62, injure daughter
Neighbours watch in horror through patio door as woman attacked
By Patrick
EVANS,
Staff
Reporter
A Toronto family that spans five generations has to find a way
to go on without their "Nana" after she was stabbed to death
in an incident that also left her daughter critically injured.
The man who attacked them was shot dead minutes later by Toronto
police.
Just before that, a teenage girl described by family members
as the dead woman's granddaughter escaped death when a group
of neighbours fought off the attacker's attempt to drag her back
inside a townhouse at 1898 Sheppard Ave. W. near Jane St.
Pandora WHITE/WHYTE, 62, was killed late Friday in her home by her
adoptive brother, Ucal
LAUZON, 34, family members and neighbours
said as they gathered outside the home yesterday.
"We lost the major link to a chain, the major source to a family
that stays together," said Kathleen
MILLINGTON, a family member
who spoke to the Star outside the neat townhouse where
WHITE/WHYTE
lived with her granddaughter, Rochelle.
Horrified neighbours watched shortly after 10: 30 p.m. Friday
as the man they identified as Lauzon, described by family members
as an adoptive brother, stabbed
WHITE/WHYTE's daughter Marcia
ALLYNE,
37, just metres away on the other side of a glass sliding door.
A neighbour who wanted to be identified only as Kevin said he
couldn't see a knife, but Lauzon struck Allyne repeatedly with
an object.
"(Allyne) fought (back)," Kevin said. "I really respected that."
Minutes later, Lauzon was shot dead by police officers who arrived
on the scene, neighbours said. He was pronounced dead at Sunnybrook
hospital early yesterday.
Neighbours in the townhouse complex said they heard officers
shout to Lauzon to drop his weapon several times before he was
shot.
The provincial Special Investigations Unit, which probes civilian
deaths involving police, is taking over the investigation.
A press release from the Special Investigations Unit said police
officers arrived at approximately 11: 02 p.m. and found Allyne
lying outside the house with "serious stab wounds."
"A Toronto Police Service officer was involved in a confrontation
with a 34-year-old man, resulting in shots being fired."
Allyne is in critical condition at Sunnybrook Health Science
Centre.
MILLINGTON told reporters
WHITE/WHYTE was a "law-abiding citizen" and
said the incident had nothing to do with drugs or any other kind
of crime. "... I want that stated," she said.
Neighbours said Rochelle was in the house when the violence started
and tried twice to get out.
The first time Lauzon dragged her back inside in front of horrified
onlookers.
When she escaped a second time, she was taken inside the home
of neighbour Zolikha
WARDAK, whose family phoned 911.
"She was (covered) in so much blood, I thought she was hurt,
too," WARDAK said.
Rochelle told her she had been in her bedroom when she heard
an argument downstairs,
WARDAK said.
The teen said she ran down to find
WHITE/WHYTE on the couch, covered
in blood.
Rochelle told
WARDAK she had blood on her because she ran to
WHITE/WHYTE and hugged her.
The teen told
WARDAK that Lauzon was there and she tried to get
away from him.
A neighbour who asked not to be identified said he was in his
yard when he heard Rochelle screaming.
"I saw her come out," he said. "She came to us... She was trying
to slide behind us."
He said Lauzon came out after her. "She started running. He was
trying to grab her."
Rochelle tripped and fell, he said, and Lauzon dragged her inside.
"Moments later, she ran out again. So this time, we defended
her."
He said that about half a dozen men from the neighbourhood formed
a barrier between Lauzon and Rochelle.
Lauzon gave up and went back into the house, he said. Some of
the men ran to
WHITE/WHYTE's door and tried unsuccessfully to get inside.
WHITE/WHYTE was a registered nurse who worked with senior citizens,
said Annette
WALTERS-
MILLINGTON, one of her three daughters.
WHITE/WHYTE also leaves her mother, 77, five grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren.
WHITE/WHYTE had lived in the community for more than 20 years and was
loved by everyone, said a distraught Annette
WALTERS-
MILLINGTON,
WHITE/WHYTE's daughter.
"Anybody that knows her calls her Nana...," Kevin said. "That's
what we called her, out of respect."

Friends mourn slain teenager
By Scott ROBERTS and Ashley
JOANNOU,
Staff
Reporters
Six roses, a red bandana and a copy of the New Testament lay
on a sidewalk behind an Etobicoke apartment complex last night
a memorial for 17-year-old Matthew George
WILMOT.
A gym beside the apartment where the teen played basketball was
used as a canvas for one last message from
WILMOT's
Friends:
"R.I.P. DIzzy."
WILMOT, known to his Friends as DIzzy, was gunned down Wednesday
afternoon outside the entrance of an apartment on Islington Ave.
just south of Finch Ave. W., at about 2 p.m.
His death was one of three shootings this week; Toronto police
have made an arrest in the shooting of a 12-year-old boy and
are still searching for suspects in the other attacks.
WILMOT died after being taken to Sunnybrook hospital; an autopsy
yesterday revealed the cause to be gunshot wounds to the chest.
The afternoon shooting took place just steps away from a playground
where children looked on.
witnesses: reported seeing a black sport utility vehicle, possibly
a Lincoln Navigator or a Ford Explorer, speeding away after the
shooting. No arrests have been made.
Friends of
WILMOT described him as quiet and athletic. They were
shocked he would be the target of an attack that police described
as brazen.
"He was just a good guy," said Shawn
CETTINO, a close friend.
"He was a smart kid, too. He would never disrespect anyone."
WILMOT was known to police but officers wouldn't elaborate.
Meanwhhile, Bernard
BOACHIE, 18, of Toronto faces eight charges,
including attempted murder and aggravated assault, in the shooting
of a 12-year-old boy on Monday.
Police believe
BOACHIE knew the boy.
The victim was taken to the Hospital for Sick Children by cab
after being shot in the shoulder in an apartment building on
Tobermory Dr., near Jane and Finch Aves.
Two days later,
WILMOT became the city's 31st homicide victim
of the year.
Police are also appealing for witnesses: to a second shooting
Wednesday, just west of Spadina Ave. between Dundas and Queen
Sts.
Kortez JACKSON, a father of four, was shot three times when he
opened the door to a townhouse in Atkinson Co-op at about 11
a.m. JACKSON, 32, is in critical condition in hospital.
In another case, police arrested a man in Ottawa yesterday, alleging
he had broken the conditions of his release from jail.
Bhupinder Singh
SAHOTA, 45, was on conditional release from the
Toronto East Detention Centre after being charged with possession
of stolen credit cards. He is being brought to Toronto by Ottawa
police and will face a variety of charges.
