Marcus Gibson, aka Ruckus, was one of two men charged with first-degree murder for the November 2014 shooting of Tariq Mohammed, 31, at Garden restaurant in Chinatown. Ceylon Carrington, Mr Gibson's co-accused in that killing was gunned down in Leslieville eight months ago.Toronto professional journalists are still putting all these puzzle pieces together, but have boldly speculated that Marcus "may have had ties to street gangs."
A relative, Glenton Gibson, 23, was stabbed to death at a St. James Town apartment building in 2012. Another relative, Michael Teddy Gibson, aka Tyke is wanted for a deadly stabbing that occurred earlier this year, sources say.
Note that "professional" journalist Chris Doucette found the obligatory clueless "witness", Florence, who stated, "she didn’t know Gibson well but he was “kind” and “always smiling."

Another recent winner of Toronto's "SickSporty NineMillimeter" lottery is 17 year old Caheem "Clayshawn" Monteith aka Ramsuchit, gunned down in the oft-cryptically referenced "north-west" end of the city.
While no one at CBC will say why Mr Monteith/Ramsuchit was apparently very deliberately targeted, they were more than willing to roll out the trifecta of tragedy, the victim's "vibrant youth," basketball chops and "larger-than-life personality."
