UPDATE: Just three little words...
..."known to police"...
On Tuesday evening, police confirmed that the victim is 25-year-old Demal Graham of Toronto.Sure, that picture just screams "babysitter's helper," whatever that is, but... wait for it...
“He was very involved in the community. I would call him even a pillar of the community around here,” family friend and neighbor Karen Clarke said. “He helped babysit people’s kids.”
While Graham had had some run-ins with the law in the past over drugs, Clarke said he was working hard to take his life in a different direction.Apparently not as committed as the guy who lit him up. Sorta like this guy.
“He was more than his mistakes and he was committed to rewriting who he was.”
