It's a real whodunnit...

...say local homicide cops...
A 28-year-old Somali-Canadian found fatally shot in an expensive Toronto apartment building Saturday night was killed by a single gunshot wound to the chest, an autopsy has found.

But as to why Hussein Hussein died, Detective Sergeant Dan Nielsen of the homicide squad said it was too soon to speculate whether the killing was tied to the rash of drug violence that has plagued Somali-Canadians in Ontario and Alberta during the past seven years.
Well... maybe not...
Also known as “Biggie,” he had spent time in Alberta as well, Det. Sgt. Nielsen confirmed, without elaborating. According to Alberta Somali-Canadian sources, Mr. Hussein lived in Fort McMurray from 2006 to 2010.

Locals said he was in the drug trade, but moved to Ontario a couple of years ago as violence within the business, including numerous homicides, began to escalate.

Everyone knows him,” one source said.
Not anymore they don't.

UPDATE: No wonder cops need help...

...apparently they've got Inspector Clouseau handling this case...
"Nielsen confirmed that Hussein did not reside as a tenant of the building but was allowed to live in the suite and had been doing so for the last few weeks. Police are still trying to find out the identity of the tenant who lived there."

Forgive me for stepping in here... but what's wrong with imbuing your children with values like... "don't sell drugs" or "don't shoot people?"
