LET'S ASK REX MURPHY:
"Shootings in Toronto haven’t quite reached the level of Chicago, where every weekend seems like a scheduled slaughter. But they are up to 425 and they are concentrated in specific areas of the city."MORE VIOLENCE THAN AN OLD TARZAN MOVIE
And, no... that's not a typo...The shooting is part of an ongoing gang dispute directly linked to the murders of local rapper Jahvante Smart, 21, aka Smoke Dawg and Ernest Modekwe, 28.
Those killings have resulted in dozens of shootings in 2020.
Jahwayne Smart is the older brother of Jahvante "Smoke Dawg" Smart, who was a member of Halal Gang out of Regent Park.
Smart and Rashawn Chambers had previous convictions for serious gun crimes and were on court-ordered weapons prohibitions.
