Trying to reconcile a man's life and death
Friends are wondering how a college student from a good family ended up shot dead by police, writes Anthony REINHART
By Anthony REINHART, Page A11
Toronto -- Until a couple of weeks ago, anyone who knew the real Shelton McKENZIE would have expected to find him out clubbing last night, toasting his 21st birthday on some Toronto dance floor in smooth urban attire and a fresh pair of Jordans.
Instead, his Friends dressed for a visitation yesterday at a funeral home in his hometown of Ajax, east of Toronto, to file past Mr. McKENZIE's coffin and wonder whether they really knew him at all.
Specifically, they've been wondering how Mr. McKENZIE -- who came from a middle-class suburban family, who worked as a produce clerk through high school, who had young women lining up for his ever-respectful attention, and who took police courses in college just last fall -- wound up shot dead by police this month.
It happened just before dawn on Thursday, April 13, near an upscale home in the Thornhill community north of Toronto, where the THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON family had just endured a home invasion robbery.
York Regional Police arrived as Mr. McKENZIE and another person fled in the THOMPSONs' pickup truck. Officers opened fire on the truck, killing Mr. McKENZIE. The second man ran off and holed up in another home and was arrested within hours.
Ontario's Special Investigations Unit, which probes deaths and injuries related to police, is still examining the killing of Mr. McKENZIE.
But York police have linked the two men to five home invasions in and around Toronto since late February, including the gunpoint robbery of Sherry COOPER, chief economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns, and her husband, Peter.
As she squinted through the murk of predawn to find two masked men standing in her bedroom, Ms. COOPER felt surprised, bewildered and terrified on the morning of March 13.
Police say Mr. McKENZIE was one of the two mud-splattered men standing before her and her husband. The pair had broken into the COOPERs' ravine-side home in Hogg's Hollow, an exclusive enclave in North Toronto.
They bound the couple with duct tape, ransacked the house and fled with cash, jewellery, computers and BlackBerrys.
Their masks, and the shock that gripped the COOPERs, made them all but impossible to identify.
"We refer to the 'old guy' and the 'young guy' when we speak to each other, or the 'big guy,' Ms. COOPER told The Globe and Mail, "and we're not even sure we're referring to the same people."
Ms. COOPER, 55, was also caught without her glasses or contact lenses. "I'm not blind without my glasses, but it was pleasingly fuzzy, believe me. I didn't particularly want to be 100-per-cent conscious."
She was conscious enough, however, to talk her way to some relief after one of the men, armed with a gun, pinned her to the bed.
"He said he wanted jewellery and I said, 'Let me show you… where it is,' Ms. COOPER said. "So, fortunately, that got us to stand up and walk in there" to where her valuables were stored.
The couple were led downstairs and taped to a pillar. One man stood guard, pointing a gun at them, the other combed the house, selecting items to fill his backpack and tossing others to the floor.
Asked whether either man seemed like a novice, or a junior partner, Ms. COOPER had this to say about the one who stood guard: "Until the very end I would have thought that he was more nervous, and that he wasn't as aggressive, he wasn't a leader," she said.
"However, at the end, I managed to get myself out of the tape, and it was that stand-guard guy that saw me. And then he grabbed me and, you know, pulled me up the steps and told me, now he's going to have to hurt me, now he's going to have to shoot me, and he threw me down on the floor and said he was going to have to shoot me.
"And it was the other one who said, 'Take her back downstairs.' So they just retaped us."
"There wasn't, like, a good cop and a bad cop; there wasn't a leader and a follower," she said. "They were brutal. They clearly hated us, just [because of] what we had."
But for the people who knew or encountered Shelton McKENZIE, nothing is very clear. No one -- from coaches and former co-workers to Friends and the police themselves -- has been able to reconcile the way he lived with the way he died.
"I really don't know how or why he became involved," Detective Sergeant Fred MOFFATT of York's holdup squad said, adding that police have seen more young people from trouble-free backgrounds jumping "right into doing robberies."
Sometimes the goal is to win acceptance from a gang. Others are dragged in by underworld creditors, such as drug dealers.
"I don't know if that's the case here, so I would never say that," Det. Sgt. MOFFATT said. "We're still investigating and still trying to figure out exactly where he comes from. But yeah, it's a mystery."
Mr. McKENZIE's parents, who have requested privacy from reporters, are "just blown away" by what happened, said Lance BROWN, their pastor at Refuge City Pentecostal Church in Ajax. "I knew Shelton. He was a great kid," Mr. BROWN said.
At the No Frills on Kingston Road in Pickering, Tony CORNACCHIA recalled how Mr. McKENZIE "always asked for as many hours as I could give him" in the produce department, where he was the most experienced part-timer, until he left the job a year ago. "I left him in charge quite a few times, on evenings and weekends."
Mr. CORNACCHIA remembered driving the young man home to his parents' relatively new house in west Ajax, where he lived with an older brother, a younger brother and a sister. He described the family as hard-working and strict, particularly the mother, who insisted that her son help pay his own way.
"It seemed like they were a very disciplined family," he said, and when he heard the news of Mr. McKENZIE's death, "I was surprised just like everyone else."
Ms. COOPER had trouble squaring the wholesome image of Mr. McKENZIE with the man who caused her to feel such terror that morning, a terror that she said has changed her life forever.
"It is inconceivable to me that some normal, 20-year-old, good kid finds himself just accidentally in this kind of situation," she said. "I have a son who's not much older than that and, honestly, I just can't even fathom how you get yourself in that situation unless you've been… involved with some real bad people for a while."
If that's the case, Shelton McKENZIE kept his secret life well hidden.
At J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate, where he graduated in 2004, basketball coaches Steve DAWSON and Mike McFETTERS stood in the gym last week, puzzled.
"Whatever happened, we didn't see it coming," said Mr. DAWSON, a middle-aged man who traded easy, good-natured jibes with the popular all-star nicknamed Springz for his jumping prowess.
Mr. McFETTERS said his star rebounder avoided situations that looked like trouble and could take a beating on the court without losing his cool.
"He wasn't a violent kid," he said, but acknowledged he'd seen Mr. McKENZIE just three times, for a total of about 20 minutes, in the two years since he left Richardson. The last time was just before Christmas, when the young man dropped by the school after his first semester in the police foundations program at Durham College in Oshawa.
Mr. McFETTERS said Mr. McKENZIE was conflicted over whether to continue his studies, citing the cost and the commute as challenges.
"If he wasn't sure what he wanted to do, he didn't want to go [back to college] until he could figure things out," the coach said.
With that, he asked Mr. McFETTERS about his wife and daughter, and congratulated him on the impending birth of a second child.
With his death, "there's just questions that I don't know if we're ever going to get the answers to now," the coach said.
Similar questions are circulating among Mr. McKENZIE's Friends, 236 of whom are linked to his profile on hi5.com, a Web gathering place. Since his death, many have posted photos and comments, written in the vernacular of on-line chat.
"i cant begin 2 understand y USA did wat USA did," wrote one. 'it wasnt ur thing… it wasnt like u. buh im not tryna hold nothing on u. Ire gota 4give u… even tho now ur gone 4ever."
Several young women claimed Mr. McKENZIE as their dream man, and gave accounts of long telephone conversations, nights out dancing, tender moments and hopes for a future together.
In an interview this week, Jennifer VIEIRA, 19, said Mr. McKENZIE's attractiveness was no mystery when she met him after the 2004 Caribana parade in downtown Toronto. He was not only well-dressed, but also a gentleman.
"He said, 'I'll call you in a couple of hours,' and he actually called me back later," she said. "He was coming off real. He wasn't being fake at all."
What was real and what was fake is sure to cross the minds of many at Mr. McKENZIE's funeral this morning, inside the Revivaltime Tabernacle in Pickering.
But inside the church and out, it seems, God only knows.

MONK, Harold Lisney
81, of Spring Hill, Florida, went to be with the Lord, the morning of Tuesday, January 10, 2006, at Evergreen Woods Rehab Center in Spring Hill. He was born in Port Credit, Ontario, October 20, 1924, the son of Harry MONK and Violet TRUSLER. He attended Port Credit High School. He served in the Canadian Navy, stationed at Halifax, Nova Scotia. He started his career at Sangamo Electric, where he met his future wife, Doreen. He then worked with Sun Life of Canada before landing a position with South Bend Lathe. It would be a company that would take him from Canada to Luxembourg, and then to the United States. He devoted 33½ years to the company, climbing to the position of Vice President of Marketing. He was an avid sailor, wood boat owner/enthusiast, and decoy collector. He loved the outdoors, Northern Michigan and Lake Charlevoix. After retiring he and his wife summered for years in Boyne City/Horton Bay. He was a member of the Masonic Order, Quinte/St. Alban's Lodge No. 620 in Toronto. A big part of his life was Saint Martin's Episcopal Church of Hudson, Florida.

REISLER o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2006-09-20 published
REISLER, Naomi Elizabeth
By Susan REISLER, Page A22
Daughter, niece, friend. Born September 24, 1998 in Kitchener, Ontario Died July 6, of a brain tumour, in Cambridge, Ontario, aged 7.
Naomi's parents, Steve REISLER and Karen McLEAN say their beloved Naomi arrived in this world with a purpose, that her soul accomplished in 7½ years what others do in 80 years. There is no doubt that Naomi lived a purposeful life.
She was born with two holes in her heart; one healed naturally, the other one was successfully repaired in June, 2002, allowing her to push the boundary of her athletic prowess. Running, swimming, and karate were her favourites and in August, 2005, she earned her red belt. Naomi's enthusiasm for karate convinced her father it was never too late to take on a new activity.
Naomi, although young, understood social justice. She could not walk by a street person without offering $2. A visit to Toronto required bags of toonies if the family were to reach its destination in good spirits. Her mother Karen supported needy children through World Vision and, through that, Naomi learned (to her sadness) that there were children in the world who could not afford to go to school.
School was, after all, one of the most important activities in Naomi's life. At the Cambridge Montessori School, Naomi soaked up everything -- mathematics, French, English, sports. Never one to boast about her gifts, Naomi would rush to finish her school work so that she could help younger classmates solve their school problems. She believed in winning, but not at the expense of those around her.
Naomi wanted life to be peaceful and joyous. Arguments or demonstrations of anger, no matter how slight, quickly upset her. She wanted to laugh and hear people laugh. Steve is a mediator and Naomi took great interest in his work, often providing her with ideas for dispute resolution.
Naomi was in the prime growing years of her life in the spring of 2005, her mind bursting with new knowledge, her athletic ability drawing rave reviews, when an alert teacher noticed some eye and co-ordination difficulties.
The instant diagnosis was stunning and cruel: diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma -- a brain tumour that is inoperable and fatal. Oceans of tears were shed by family and Friends -- but not by Naomi. With Steve and Karen, and often Karen's sisters Helen and Marilyn along with countless neighbours and Friends always at her side, Naomi lived every minute of every day. She refused the designation "sick." Even as the tumour's growth reduced her movements, and then her voice, Naomi continued to go to school, because "sick children don't go to school," she said.
And when she was no longer strong enough to manage in class, teachers came to her and read, in French and English, as did many Friends and cousins. All of us, in our own way, tried to live each day with the hope that the tumour would shrink.
Those who were with Naomi constantly say she never complained, she never cried, she never felt sorry for herself. Naomi's positive outlook, her grace and courage under such otherwise grim conditions inspired the Ontario communities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo, to come together for fund-raising parties that helped cover expenses.
From the day of Naomi's birth, Karen and Steve knew they were on a journey with their daughter. When she was diagnosed with cancer, Karen, a nurse, and Steve took responsibility for all Naomi's care. With the loving support of family and Friends, Naomi was able to live at home, with her books, videos and her special dog Rosco and cat Butterscotch. She lived life as she could and will continue to inspire us all; her classmates will have the opportunity to share in Naomi's compassion when they adopt a needy student abroad.
Susan REISLER is Naomi's aunt.
