Omar guilty for the stabbing of John Dickinson outside Victoria's Lucky Bar nightclub in 2022
A jury has found Mohamed Daud Omar guilty of second-degree murder for stabbing 30-year-old John Dickinson outside Victoria’s Lucky Bar nightclub in 2022.
Several of Dickinson’s family members sat in the gallery. They exclaimed loudly and erupted into tears just after the verdict was read. It is clear an argument between the two men began in the bar — though it is still unknown what sparked it — and that it spilled out onto the sidewalk after security removed Omar.
According to witnesses and cctv cameras, Omar quickly fled the scene. A man who identified himself as Mohamed Omar called 911 less than an hour afterwards and admitted to having stabbed someone, saying it was in self-defence. "Johnny didn't deserve to die for throwing a punch," his mother Dorraine Dickinson said after the verdict.
