New details are coming to light about the family that was at the centre of a daylight shooting in Regent Park on Tuesday afternoon.
The incident happened near Dundas and Parliament streets at around 1:30 p.m., leaving two men dead and a woman with non-life-threatening injuries.A source tells CP24 that the deceased are the father, who neighbours say they know as John Kongolo, and the brother of the alleged shooter.police said one of the victims, along with the woman, was found inside a residence with gunshot wounds and were transported to hospital, where the man later died.
Mpiana described the Kongolos, whom he said he’s known for more than 10 years, as a “lovely” family, a father, a mother with kids. Speaking with reporters on Wednesday morning, Walied Khogli Ali, of the Regent Park Neighbourhood Association, said that in the hours following the shooting neighbours rallied “with compassion” to take care of the toddler-age daughter of one of the victims.
Ali, however, is concerned as the next round of those funds aren’t set to be released until the end of the summer due to what he described as a “refresh” of the city’s plan.
