Victims didn't provoke killer
Friends shot 'execution-style'
1,500 at funeral for slain men
By Isabel TEOTONIO,
Staff
Reporter
There was no altercation, no sideways glance, not even an exchange
of words.
A man who watched in horror as two of his Friends were shot to
death execution-style told the Toronto Star yesterday that nothing
had occurred that would have provoked the attack.
The Friends had just left the Phoenix Concert Theatre early Monday
morning. "We were having a good time, just celebrating. We never
had any arguments, no problems," he said yesterday before attending
the double funeral for Loyan Ahmed
GILAO, 23, and
Ali
Mohamud
ALI, 19.
"It all happened so fast, in a split second. I was walking behind
ALI and he shot him point-blank, execution-style," said the friend,
who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"There was no one on the sidewalk, just two prostitutes on the
road. We didn't expect it. All you hear is multiple shots and
then nothing. And then multiple shots."
ALI died from a gunshot wound to the head, while
GILAO died from
a gunshot to the chest. A third man was also hurt in the shooting
around 4 a.m.
Before the tragic turn, the trio had been with about a dozen
of their buddies at the Sherbourne St. club capping off a celebratory
weekend that included a friend's wedding.
While at the club, there were no problems between any of the
group members and anyone else at the club, said the friend with
certainty.
After leaving, a group of five headed to a car parked near Homewood
Ave. and Maitland Pl. where a man approached them and, without
warning, opened fire, said the friend.
"It doesn't make sense," he said at the Etobicoke mosque yesterday
where 1,500 people united in grief to pay their final respects
to the men, heralded as leaders within the Somali community.
"They weren't into anything bad," he said, ruling out gang ties
or retaliation.
His sentiments were echoed by many who said the overwhelming
turnout was a testament to how deeply the pair were loved and
admired.
"As a collective Somali community we are grieving, they were
killed for nothing," said
ALI's aunt, Khadija
ABDI. "
All of us
are shocked, except for the parents. I think they are dead inside."
Both families moved to Canada during the 1980s to give their
children a better and safer life, she said. But in a sad twist
of fate, the young men were victims of the kind of violence their
parents wanted to shield them from.
"Loyan's father has been very active in the community promoting
peace, and now to have his son killed in that context is very
tragic," said Cassandra
FERNANDES, a policy and community consultant
for the city who attended the funeral yesterday on behalf of
the mayor.
GILAO's father, Mohamed
GILAO, is a prominent and well-respected
member of Toronto's Somali community who has travelled on various
peace missions to his homeland.
Yesterday both
GILAO's and
ALI's parents were too overwhelmed
to speak publicly about the loss of their firstborn and only
sons. ALI's mother, Suleka
HUSSEIN, already fragile from a heart
condition, was so overcome with grief that she fainted by the
entrance moments after viewing her son's body.
One of about a dozen police officers on duty in front of the
Khalid Bin Al Waliid mosque was on hand to help. Minutes later
paramedics arrived to treat
HUSSEIN, who was well enough to return
inside shortly after.
Relatives of both men, some of whom travelled from British Columbia,
Alberta and Virginia to attend the funeral, spoke warmly of the
young men's benevolent spirits.
"ALI was a generous person, always giving to people what he had,"
said his sister, Amran Ali
JAMA.
Her red-rimmed eyes filled with tears when she added, "it was
just the wrong place and wrong time."
GILAO, nicknamed Banks because he'd always find spare change
for children, would literally take the shirt off his back for
a friend, said aunt Hawa
GILAO.
"He only had one-third of the clothing he bought in his closet,"
she said, adding, "he loved to help people."
In an effort to "continue his legacy" and keep his memory and
name alive, the
GILAO family is thinking of starting a foundation
in his name, she said, adding the money would likely go to families
who've lost children to violence.
Friends of the duo remembered them as bright young men with bright
futures. "Loyan was the sweetest person you could ever come across,"
said Roda ALI, who was Friends with both men.
"And ALI, he could've been somebody really great. They were both
the perfect children."
GILAO, a third-year York University commerce student, was planning
to propose to his girlfriend of three years in the coming months.
Meanwhile,
ALI had recently moved to Vancouver, where he was
trying to start a trucking company. He had returned to Toronto
for his friend's wedding and was scheduled to go back to British
Columbia early this week.
After the funeral service, mourners made their way to Beechwood
Cemetery, where both men were buried.
