Murder In Mississauga
Toronto police said Tuesday that they have arrested two brothers in connection with the late January shooting of a popular Scarborough barber.
Chris Thompson, 35, was killed after one suspect walked into the Cut Creators barber shop at 31 Tapscott Rd. shortly before 1 p.m. on Jan. 24 and opened fire on Thompson from close range as patrons and other employees sat nearby.
Someone was then spotted fleeing the scene through a Malvern Town Centre parking lot.
Police have charged Kevin Perez, 27, and Christopher Perez, 22, both of Toronto with first degree murder. They also face a number of fire arm and drug-related offences.
The accused were expected to appear in a Toronto court on Tuesday.
Three other people also face a number of firearms and other offences unrelated to the homicide.
The arrests came following a joint investigation in Toronto, Ottawa and Orillia.
Police refused to disclose a motive in the case and provided few other details in the case, but said they believe that Kevin Perez was the man captured on video walking into the store before the shooting.
"Unfortunately I can't say specifically what the motive is, but what I can say is that there is a recent history," said Toronto police Det. Dan Nielsen. "There is no good reason for something like this to have happened."
Nielsen said the incident was not gang related.
Summary : Local man working at a barber shop in Mississauga got gun down at 1pm, January 24. The police say it had nothing to do with gang or drugs in the killing. The police have charged Kevin Perez, 27, and Christopher Perez, 22, both of Toronto with first degree murder. They also face a number of fire arm and drug-related offences. Both brothers are expected to appear in court on Tuesday. Police man said "Unfortunately I can't say specifically what the motive is, but what I can say is that there is a recent history," said Toronto police Det. Dan Nielsen. "There is no good reason for something like this to have happened."
My Opinion : The police say that this is not a gang or drug related conflict, but i honestly totally disagree with that comment. It's common sense to see, your in the place in Ontario with the highest crime rate beside Oshawa that's involved with drugs, i wonder why this crime happened. no one would just go into a barber shop and shoot someone their has to be something behind it all. Any who the people living there probably arent surprised by the murder because there used to it monthly.
