Man killed during gunfight: Police
But uncertain if he was a shooter
Incident has 'some gang connection'
By Tracy HUFFMAN,
Crime
Reporter
Homicide detectives investigating a fatal shooting outside a
North York apartment building believe the victim was struck during
a gun battle, but they are unsure if he was a shooter.
Jermaine Lincoln
BROWN, 22, was not armed when emergency crews
arrived Monday night on Grandravine Dr. to find him suffering
from multiple gunshot wounds.
While police continue to comb through evidence and interview
witnesses, Det. Sgt. Randy
CARTER, the lead homicide officer
on the case, said the shooting has "some gang connection to it."
"I haven't been able to determine… fully yet whether or not he
was himself shooting or whether or not he was just there,"
CARTER
said.
Gunshots erupted in the west parking lot and moved to the front
of the building where
BROWN, who was studying culinary arts at
Humber College, was found on the ground.
"I've received tremendous help from the community and I need
that to continue,"
CARTER said. In particular, police need help
finding a silver or green sport utility vehicle similar to a
GMC
Yukon or Envoy that fled the scene, near Jane St. and Sheppard
Ave. W. One suspect with a firearm got in the front passenger
seat after the shooting, he said.
"I'm still trying to piece together how many people were there,
who was at what location when the shots were being fired back
and forth."
One firearm was recovered at the scene and is undergoing ballistics
testing.
BROWN, from Brampton, had been staying at the apartment building
since December. He had contact with police in the past, most
recently in 2005, when he was charged with sexual assault. The
case was still before the courts when he became the city's 15th
homicide victim.
On Tuesday,
BROWN's parents, Linda and Frank
BROWN, said in an
interview they were upset that their requests to view their son's
body prior to an autopsy were refused. They said someone who
falsely said she was
BROWN's sister, and an ex-girlfriend, identified
the body.
Toronto police spokesman Mark
PUGASH said protocol dictates that
once a body has been identified, it cannot be viewed again until
an autopsy is done to prevent evidence tampering.
CARTER said he apologizes to the family for upsetting them.
"I had enough information to believe that they were related to
the deceased and that they could identify the person."
