A 26-year-old convicted killer was murdered early yesterday, apparently killed by a gunshot wound to the head. Dennis Kwame Oppong, 26, was found lying on a Front St. sidewalk, just west of Spadina, at 3 a.m. after emergency services got telephone calls about a shooting.What the hell was this guy doing on the street?
Oppong was convicted in the '90s in the brutal subway stabbing death of 15-year-old Ishmael Spence. Oppong apparently rushed at Spence without provocation and stabbed him in the chest and head, penetrating his brain.
I guess he completed his anger-management classes.
UPDATE: 11 Jan 2007 - Speaking up for Dennis Oppong

Dennis was a resident a Syl Aps Youth Center while I was a counsellor there. Dennis was approached by four gang members at the Kennedy subway station by this "innocent" Ishmael character...
