Double shooting shakes gun-weary Toronto
Two 25-year-old men killed downtown; carjacking suspected
By Timothy
APPLEBY and Jamie
KOMARNICKI with reports from Sarah
BOESVELD and Matthew
CAMPBELL,
Page▼ A1
Toronto -- It was just after midnight yesterday when Alan
DUDECK's
cellphone rang, bearing the worst tidings a parent could hear:
His son, Oliver
MARTIN, and his son's lifelong friend Dylan
ELLIS
had just been shot.
The two young men had been heading home from a friend's apartment
after watching a basketball game, and the frantic call came from
a close friend of Mr.
MARTIN.
"He said, 'Get down to St. Mike's [hospital] right away,' Mr.
DUDECK
recounted.
Mr. MARTIN worked for a prestigious investment firm. Mr.
ELLIS
was a photographer. Both were 25, with university degrees. And
both, it seemed, had a shining future. Instead, both perished
in an apparently random hail of bullets, leaving their families
in shock.
"Pretty rough, pretty rough," Mr.
DUDECK said.
Even in a city where gun killings have become familiar - yesterday's
shootings bring Toronto's homicide count for the year to 25 -
the double slaying, perhaps the result of an abortive carjacking,
was unusual.
As police struggled to reconstruct the events west of the city's
entertainment district, Detective Sergeant Gary
GIROUX of the
homicide squad stressed that from all appearances, neither Mr.
ELLIS
nor Mr. MARTIN was involved in crime.
"Both young men were loved by their families, they have a great
deal of support, and as you can imagine, both families are devastated,"
he said.
"These two victims were not at all known - I repeat, not at all
known - to the Toronto police or any police agency in Canada."
The only police record of either stems from when one of them
lost his passport about five years ago, another homicide investigator
said.
A 911 call came in at 12: 08 a.m. yesterday to the 14 Division
police station.
Mr. ELLIS and Mr.
MARTIN were found in the front seat of a Range
Rover▼ that belongs to Mr.
ELLIS's stepfather, outside a friend's
condo where they had been watching a basketball game on television.
Both were wearing seat belts and the car's engine was running,
police said.
Despite paramedics' efforts, both were pronounced dead on arrival
at Saint Michael's Hospital.
In the back seat of the Range Rover was a female friend who survived
the attack and who is the homicide squad's key witness.
"It may well be the shooter didn't see her and that's why she's
alive," Mr.
DUDECK said. "We don't know."
All three had been watching the Boston Celtics pull off a comeback
win against the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball
Association playoffs.
For several hours, the car was parked outside the condo, and
the three departed at around midnight. They briefly returned
for what Det. Sgt.
GIROUX described as "a very innocent reason&hellip
they were expecting someone to come out for a very brief moment."
Instead, they were accosted by the gunman.
"I'd say the shooting took place within seconds," Det. Sgt.
GIROUX
said. "He may have only been targeting the males in the front
seat, but they were certainly in my opinion targeted."
Multiple shots were fired - at least eight, judging by shell-casing
markers on the street yesterday - killing the two young men and
damaging the interior of the Range Rover.
After speaking to the traumatized young woman, Det. Sgt.
GIROUX
said the shootings may have been part of an abortive car jacking,
and that - for reasons he did not divulge - the killer appeared
familiar with the area.
"We're certainly alive to the fact that this was a very expensive,
high-end vehicle and I'm looking at it as a marketable thing
to steal."
Another police source suggested the violence could have erupted
from something as simple as an exchange of angry words.
One witness report said a young black male in a white shirt was
seen fleeing the crime scene on a bicycle. Another offered a
similar description, but said the man sped away in a blue car.
Under scrutiny, meanwhile, was an array of closed-circuit video
footage from buildings near the crime scene.
A friend of the victims who was at Thursday night's gathering
said she and other attendees were traumatized by the shooting.
Police swiftly cordoned off the area with yellow tape, and yesterday
afternoon, the Range Rover was still being examined by forensic
experts.
The car was parked immediately outside 798 Richmond St. West,
an upscale, five-year-old rental high-rise, surrounded by townhouses.
The area comprises a mix of new money and old, a few blocks west
of the downtown entertainment district.
Just metres north is a vibrant section of Queen Street West,
and on all sides are older brick homes, some of Victorian vintage.
"There's a sense of community; my house has been broken into,
but I do usually feel safe walking along the streets late at
night," said long-time resident Maria
BARABASH, who lives a block
east of the crime scene on Richmond Street.
"But this is a little bit too close to home."
So too for the families of the victims.
About 30 people gathered on the lawn of Mr.
ELLIS's parents'
home in the upscale Rosedale neighbourhood. Some hugged, while
others stood around or sat on the lawn in shock.
Tears in his eyes, a young man demanded that reporters respect
the family's privacy and leave the street and its million-dollar
homes and expensive cars.
Lauren WILKINS, a friend of Mr.
MARTIN and Mr.
ELLIS, said yesterday
the two men were "just wonderful people."
A few blocks away at Mr.
OLIVER's home, family members from the
East Coast began filtering into the big, ivy-clad brick house,
hugging and exchanging condolences.
Mr. MARTIN lived downtown in a house he shared with his sisters.
He graduated with a bachelor of commerce degree from Concordia
University's John Molson School of Business. He joined Russell
Investments Canada last year and quickly made his mark as a friendly
young man poised to take the financial world by storm, said company
president Irshaad
AHMAD.
"He was the person walking around the office always making Friends.
He just made a really tremendous impact."
Mr. MARTIN and Mr.
ELLIS had known each other since they were
in Grade 1 in Toronto's Brown Junior Public School.
From
Toronto, the pair headed for Quebec - Mr.
MARTIN attending
Concordia
University while Mr.
ELLIS pursued his passion for
photography at Dawson College.
Mr. ELLIS was a thoughtful photographer with an eye for detail,
his former mentor said.
"His style was a bit more urban, a bit more shadowy," recalled
Laurel Breidon, co-ordinator of the college's commercial photography
program.
"Not the bright, clean, happy stuff - a little funky, had a little
edge to it."
Mourners set up a candle-lit shrine last night outside the building
where Mr. MARTIN and Mr.
ELLIS were shot. About 20 bouquets of
flowers had been laid against the wall and three candles illuminated
a sign taped to the building that reads "May you rest in peace
Dylan and Oliver."

or on the sports field. Oliver followed his high school studies

Shooting victim loved to laugh
Mourners packing church hear of young investment banker's humour,
perseverance
By Sarah BOESVELD,

A16
One week after she witnessed the slaying of Oliver
MARTIN and
Dylan ELLIS outside a friend's condominium, Mr.
MARTIN's girlfriend
attended his memorial service at Rosedale Presbyterian Church
yesterday in a flood of tears.
She was the backseat passenger in the Mr.
ELLIS's
Range
Rover,▲
the two young men in the front, when someone came by the vehicle
at 12: 08 a.m. last Friday and fired the fatal shots.
Investigators released two YouTube videos yesterday asking anyone
with tips to come forward. One of the videos features the notes,
flowers and photos left outside the condo at Richmond and Niagara
Streets. In the other, lead investigator Toronto police Detective
Sergeant Gary Giroux appeals to the public for help solving the
slayings. Propped up by a friend, Mr.
MARTIN's girlfriend sobbed
as she left the sanctuary, walking past the people who had meant
the world to him.
The church was packed with about 200 mourners and just as many
were standing on the damp lawn outside where they could hear
the service over loudspeakers. There were stories celebrating
Mr. MARTIN's dry wit, mischievous nature and devotion to his
Friends and family.
It was a scene much like Mr.
ELLIS's memorial service on Wednesday.
The crowd laughed through their tears as Mr.
MARTIN's family
and a pack of about six of his Friends, simply dubbed "the boys,"
shared stories.
Mr. MARTIN's mother and stepfather, Susan and Alan
DUDECK, sat
in the front pews among members of their extended family, many
of whom had arrived from the East Coast. His father, Richard
MARTIN, also attended.
Oliver MARTIN's three older sisters, each introducing herself
as his favourite, took turns sharing memories of their brother.
One of the sisters, Ally, said he was naturally lucky, winning
small lotteries and scooping up poker chips at weekly tournaments
with Friends.
"But Oliver didn't believe in luck, he believed in perseverance,"
she said, choking over her words.
She mentioned Mr.
MARTIN's lifelong struggle with anxiety and
dyslexia and how he overcame them and graduated from university.
He finished a chartered financial analyst exam little more than
a week before he was killed.
She called him a natural philosopher who often pondered life's
big questions. He was also passionate about his career as an
investment banker and about partying with his many pals.
"Nobody was able to converse and tell stories the way he did,"
one friend said. "He created a brotherhood amongst his Friends."
Jordan PELOSI looked over the tearful crowd as he spoke about
his friend.
"In truth we're going about this all wrong. Oliver loved to laugh.
He loved life, with that beautiful smile and that beautiful spirit.
And most of all, he loved all of us," he said.
"And I'll tell you, if he was here right now to see all this
sadness, he would walk down each and every aisle and give each
and every one of us a bitch slap, possibly followed by some name
calling just to set us straight."
Rev. William
MacLELLAN comforted mourners as he read a passage
from the Bible traditionally reserved for weddings "Love is patient.
Love is kind. …"
Mr. MARTIN's eldest sister, Georgie, said he would have wanted
everyone to continue onward and keep his spirit in their hearts.
"I don't feel like he's gone. He's with me in every step I take.
I will continue to push forward; I will keep you in my memories
always."
The family has created the Oliver Martin Memorial Trust Fund
and encourages donations to any branch of TD Canada Trust to
transit number 1967 and account number 5003122.
They also sent out a message thanking the public for its condolences
and support: "During this tragedy, our experience has been that
the City of Toronto is a place of good."
