First gun death of 2006 comes early
A 21-year-old North York man was shot in his car early yesterday
morning.
By Kim BRADLEY,
Special To
The▼
Free Press, Mon., January 2, 2006
Toronto -- Not more than five hours after ringing in the new
year, a 21-year-old man was gunned down in the driver's seat
of his Cadillac DeVille yesterday.
Dillan Yhanike
ANDERSON of North York was pronounced dead at
Sunnybrook hospital after he was found slumped over in the driver's
seat of his car in an alley at Eglinton and Locksley avenues,
east of Dufferin Street, around 5 a.m.
"Here we are just into 2006 and already there is another mother
planning to bury her son," said homicide Det. Steve
RYAN. "
It's
sad. It's the first homicide of the year and we have a long year
ahead of us. I'd like to get it solved quickly."
Residents expressed concern that Toronto's rash of gun violence
from last year has spilled over into 2006 and their neighbourhood.
"It's ridiculous," said Maria
HERRETT who, after celebrating
New Year's Eve at Nathan Phillips Square, slept through the gunshots
fired below her apartment window.
"It's getting to the point where you can't even walk down the
street," she said, adding she first started noticing the escalating
crime of 2005 after Jamal
HEMMINGS, 17, was shot November 9 at
Eglinton and Marlee avenues, not far from yesterday's murder.
"I was scared to take my (eight-year-old) daughter downtown for
New Year's,"
HERRETT said. "Everyone's talking tough, but what
is really being done?"
At the New Year's Day levee, Mayor David
MILLER said he was disappointed
to learn of yesterday's murder.
"Every shooting fills me with sadness and this one again appears
to be connected to the gang and the gun trade. It tells me that
the things we're doing are the right things -- we just have to
get them moving."
RYAN said police believe whoever shot
ANDERSON walked over to
the car and opened fire.
He couldn't say how many times
ANDERSON was hit until after today's
autopsy.
The car's driver's side window was shattered and there was a
bullet hole in the windshield.
"I think someone approached the vehicle and shots were fired
from outside the car,"
RYAN said.
Forensic officers spent most of yesterday sifting through the
snow around the car, looking for bullet casings. At one point
they called in a steam truck to melt the snow around the car.
Police are looking to talk to anyone with information about
ANDERSON's
movements before he was shot.
ANDERSON was known to police. In 2003
ANDERSON and a 17-year-old
were arrested in connection with the robbery and shooting of
a man near Jane Street and Wilson Avenue. The victim in that
case survived.
Last year Toronto had 78 murders, 52 involving shootings. The
city didn't record its first murder in 2005 until January 14.

Girls slain on eve of custody battle
Their mother is facing two counts of first-degree murder after
the deaths in Barrie.
By Kim BRADLEY, Sun Media, Thurs., October 5, 2006
Barrie -- Two young sisters described as the picture of innocence
with blond hair and bright eyes were found dead in their Barrie
apartment yesterday on the eve of a family court appearance.
The girls, three-year-old Sophie and one-year-old Serena
CAMPIONE,
were at the centre of a vicious custody battle between their
parents that involved allegations of all-out abuse, Friends and
neighbours said.
Frances Elaine
CAMPIONE, 31, was taken to hospital for observation
and was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
She's to appear in court this morning.
CAMPIONE and her estranged husband, Leo, were to appear in family
court today and that had put the single, 31-year-old mother living
on social assistance under a tremendous amount of stress, said
Sharon LYNN, whose grandchildren played with the girls.
"This was a tormented woman,"
LYNN sobbed from outside the apartment.
"This woman needs a hug. She needs to know people love her."
LYNN said every social agency has been involved in the case,
including the police, but, with her parents living in the Maritimes,
she had little support of her own. She called
CAMPIONE a "wonderful"
mom.
"Imagine you are so desperate to want to take (the children)
away from the pain so they could be with the Lord," she said,
adding there were no warning signs. "That's what makes this so
bad."
LYNN and her daughter, Amanda, had the grim task of explaining
to Amanda's sons, ages 4 and 11, what happened.
"My grand_son said he wanted to marry Sophie,"
LYNN cried, adding
the "sweet and precious girls' eyes sparkled."
Police said the woman called 911 at 6: 15 a.m. saying the girls
were dead. When officers arrived, they found "evidence to indicate
that the children had been the victims of homicide," Barrie police
Sgt. Dave GOODBRAND said.
Diana ROBINSON, a neighbour, said the woman had a restraining
order against her ex-husband.
"They were trying to keep him out of the building," she said
through tears.
Ann HARVEY, community relations manager for Barrie municipal
non-profit housing, which owns the building, said the horrific
murders have shocked the community.
"This just makes us realize the importance for advocating for
everybody and making sure the social supports that are needed
in our community are here," she said.

Web clues in club shooting mystify police
By James RUSK,
Page
A10
Toronto police said yesterday that they have pictures of a man
they suspect shot another man dead in an illegal after-hours
club on Weston Road early Saturday morning.
They just don't know who he is, Detective Sergeant Gary
GIROUX
told a news conference at police headquarters.
He said that witnesses: in the community directed police to an
Internet site on which the photographs of the suspect were posted.
The suspect, described by the police as a Hispanic in his late
20s or early 30s, is "extremely, extremely dangerous to the community.
He is a high-risk to reoffend violently," Det. Sgt.
GIROUX said.
The suspect is wanted in connection with the shooting of Gabriel
JARAMILLO, 22, just before 6 a.m. Saturday in an after-hours
club at the rear of 1806 Weston Rd., near Lawrence Avenue West.
"The deceased was involved in a physical fight within the premise
of the after-hours club, not with the shooter, with another male,
who had been in the company of the shooter throughout the evening.
The shooter intervened in the fight, and shot the deceased a
number of times at extremely close range," Det. Sgt.
GIROUX said.
Mr. JARAMILLO was pronounced dead at the scene, and an autopsy
performed yesterday morning concluded that he had died of a gunshot
wound to the head, Det. Sgt.
GIROUX said.
The shooter and his friend were last seen on Weston Road.
According to the police, the suspect who fired the shots has
a dark complexion, is 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 9, weighs 180 pounds,
and has a thin nose, thin face, slight goatee, dark curly hair
and tattoos with the word "libertad" on his arms, chest and the
back of his neck.
His friend is described as a Hispanic in his late 20s or early
30s, 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 9, 200 pounds, lighter complexion than
the shooter, wider face, big build, muscular, with a long, dark-brown
ponytail just below the collar and one earring.
Also yesterday, police said they have made an arrest in another
homicide committed in the city on the weekend.
Detective
Sergeant
Steve
RYAN of the homicide squad said that
Patrick BRADLEY, 25, has been charged with second-degree murder
after his mother, Colleen
BRADLEY, 59, was stabbed to death in
her North York apartment near Keele Street and Sheppard Avenue
West.

Teen dies playing hockey
Alex CORRANCE died while playing in a minor hockey tournament.
By Lois KALCHMAN,
Debra
BLACK, Toronto
Star with files from John
GODDARD
It was the beginning of what was supposed to be an action-packed
AAA hockey tournament, but the game ended in tragedy yesterday
with the death of a 17-year-old hockey player.
Alex CORRANCE -- the only child of Mississauga Rebels Midget
AAA team manager Alan
CORRANCE -- died of an apparent heart
attack.
The teen's father had been on the bench at Ice Sports Scarborough
when his son collapsed. He had raced out on the ice to help,
not realizing the fallen player was his flesh and blood.
The teen, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound defenceman for the Rebels, had
just come out from behind the net, his shorthanded team killing
a penalty early in the game as they played against archrivals,
the Mississauga Ice Dogs.
CORRANCE -- considered one of the healthiest players on the team
skated to the top of the faceoff circle.
With the Ice Dogs scoring a tying goal, the Grade 12 student
at Oakville Trafalgar High School suddenly buckled and dropped
to the ice.
A referee skated past and then cut back around, asking if he
was all right.
Two trainers quickly raced onto the ice and tried to save his
life, using a defibrillator. An Royal Canadian Mounted Police
officer and some off-duty firefighters and nurses also joined
them. Somebody called 911. But there was no pulse.
Firefighters and ambulance personnel arrived and took over, beginning
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and rushing him to Markham Stouffville
Hospital, to no avail. His father, who loved hockey and spent
endless hours managing teams in Oakville, later told team officials
his son "went down doing something he absolutely loved doing."
Alan CORRANCE said he was dreading going home to tell Alex's
grandparents the news.
When contacted by the Star, a person at the
CORRANCE home in
Oakville said: "We're not interested in speaking to anyone right
now."
Rebels coach Victor
CRISCUOLO was still trying last night to
piece together what happened earlier in the day as his team participated
in its first game of the 2006 Showcase Major Midget Prospect
Tournament, run by the Wexford Raiders.
"I'm still numb, still in shock," he said. "He basically collapsed
on the ice. There was no contact… no one touched him, nothing.
"You wake up in the morning, the day after Christmas expecting
to play in a tournament and to have fun. Our thoughts and prayers
of the whole team all go towards the
CORRANCE family.
"Alex was a tremendous kid, just a great kid. He was always upbeat,
an absolutely beautiful person. He was a good hockey player but
a better person. He was always a pleasure to be around."
CRISCUOLO said Alex spent the summer trying to prepare for the
jump to tier two Junior A hockey, but he was a late cut.
"I knew the kid and knew of the dad," he said recollecting the
call in late September to take Alex on his Rebels team.
The Scarborough midget tournament -- one of dozens running across
the Greater Toronto Area during the Christmas break -- was a
big event, with 20 teams from across southern Ontario, Ottawa,
Kingston and Detroit competing over three days.
Now, CRISCUOLO is worried about the impact Alex's death will
have on his team and is seeking grief counselling for his players
through the Greater Toronto Hockey League or the Ontario Hockey
Federation.
"It's a cruel life -- it's one of those lessons in life,"
CRISCUOLO
said.
Alex's teammates will miss "just seeing him smile or listening
to his iPod before the game."
Bart MARCOLINI, general manager of the Rebels, was also stunned
by yesterday's tragedy. "You feel badly if someone gets a concussion
or breaks an arm or leg but this, this is terrible. He was probably
one of the healthiest on the team.
"You'd think there would be signs, but there weren't. I've been
in hockey for 66 years and nothing like this has ever happened
before."
Despite the sudden death, the tournament is scheduled to continue
minus the Mississauga Rebels. General manager
MARCOLINI has
pulled the team from the tournament, saying he wouldn't expect
the teenaged players to continue.
The Ice Dogs also decided to forgo playing the team's other game
yesterday. Some of their players knew
CORRANCE and were also
in shock over his death, said the Rebels' coach. Tournament director
Mike BRADLEY said he assumed the Ice Dogs would withdraw as well.
Greater Toronto Hockey League officials were stunned by the tragic
turn of events. Greater Toronto Hockey League president John
GARDNER said he couldn't think of another instance of something
like this happening on ice during the three decades he has been
with the league.
"What a tremendous shock it must be for everyone and during Christmas,"
he said.
"There were no signs of any problem… nothing."
An autopsy is scheduled for today.
