In a weekend of gun violence, 11-year-old's death 'heartbreaking'
By Jessica
LEEDER with a report from Jennifer
LEWINGTON,
Page A1
It was around midnight Saturday when two telltale cracks cut
the sounds of happy partygoers and children playing outside right
out of the air.
The fast pattern of gunfire that followed sent mothers within
a North Toronto public housing complex into a panic. In No. 1880,
the centre block, some began hollering out the names of their
children, listening for their calls back.
While the shouting carried on, 11-year-old Ephraim
BROWN was
splayed on the ground in an alleyway next to the building, unable
to even speak his name. Caught in a rain of gunfire while zooming
around on his scooter, neighbours said, the Grade 6 pupil took
a bullet to the neck. By the time a brood of women from the complex
found him and carried him into a nearby unit to tend to him,
his blood pressure had dropped. It appeared they were too late.
"I was holding him in my arms," a women who gave her name as
Karen said. "As soon as I held him, I knew there was something
wrong. We were trying to do cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. We
were trying," she said, shaking her head.
Young Ephraim, the city's 43rd homicide victim of the year, was
one of three males in the Toronto area killed by gunfire over
the weekend, prompting renewed calls for a crackdown on illegal
guns and an end to the gang violence that has made the northern
corridor of Toronto's Jane Street notorious.
The Toronto shootings came as gun-related violence played out
in other Canadian cities over the weekend. Three women and a
man were shot outside a downtown nightclub in Winnipeg when a
man walked up to a group standing outside the entrance of the
club and fired seven shots before fleeing on foot, police said.
The man, believed to be a bouncer, was seriously injured. In
Halifax, Glenn Brian Bourgeois, 37, died Saturday afternoon after
he was shot several times and left on the street.
Toronto Mayor David Miller, the father of an 11-year-old, noted
that all shooting deaths are tragedies, but he called Ephraim's
death "exceptionally heartbreaking."
Late yesterday, while police continued their investigation into
the boy's shooting at the complex near the intersection of Jane
Street and Sheppard Avenue West, children on bicycles nonchalantly
wove over and under police tape, as if the yellow streamers were
simply decorations left over from a birthday party.
Among some violence-weary residents lounging in the hot afternoon
sun amidst the police tape, it seemed as if a malaise has set
in.
"Another life gone. Nothing we can do," one young mother said.
"It happens all the time. I'm not afraid it's spreading: I know
it's spread. Before this happened, this part of Jane… was considered
safe," she said.
Up the road at a community police detachment, Ephraim's family,
who moved to the complex only recently, appealed to their neighbours
for help in solving his killing.
"It could just as easily have happened to one of your family
members," Amanda
TAILOR/TAYLOR,
Ephraim's 23-year-old sister, said yesterday
while clutching her brother's picture to her chest and fighting
back tears.
"For those of you who don't know me or my family or my little
brother, I'm sure what I'm about to ask you is going to sound
like a really big favour," she said. "I'm asking if you know
anything, anything at all, you say something. We all know somebody
out there knows something."
While police have yet to make any arrests in the shooting, Toronto
Police
Detective
Sergeant Gary
GIROUX said police are working
with numerous witnesses. The incident has its roots in a birthday
party held at the complex Saturday that got out of hand when
rival gang members carrying handguns came face to face.
Ephraim was saying goodbye to some Friends, about to wheel his
way home, when numerous shots were fired, neighbours said.
Toronto Police Chief Blair yesterday vowed to make Ephraim's
shooters "pay for the terrible crime they committed."
He said he spoke with Mr. Miller and Attorney-General Michael
Bryant, and both pledged to do "anything and everything that
is required" to apprehend and prosecute the shooters, and to
stop the trend of violence in the area.
He also implored the community not to engage in retaliation.
"That will not bring the young boy back," he said.
