Toronto police identified Adu Boakye, 39, as the victim of a shooting that happened near a north Toronto bus stop over the weekend.
Five months after Adu Boakye was shot and killed while walking by a bus stop at Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue, his wife, four sons and extended family have arrived in Toronto for his funeral.It’s been five months since a man was killed and a teen boy critically injured in a pair of random shooting attacks in Toronto’s Jane and Finch neighbourhood. Police still haven't made any arrests. Adu Boakye had only been in Canada for a couple of months when he was killed.
Investigators said Adu Boakye was shot repeatedly, twice in the stomach. He died in hospital. Police still haven't made arrests in the case. "This is just an innocent person who came to the country, minding his own business and was shot," Botchway said. Back in February, police said the attacks were carried out randomly, by the same suspect or suspects. They said the victims didn't know each other or the suspect, nor were they involved in gang activity.
Police say they are looking for a man, around 18 to 25 years old, with a thin build. Police say he was last seen wearing a black coat, a white hooded sweatshirt, black pants, black shoes, a black face covering and possibly a white surgical mask underneath.
