Witnesses scarce after shooting Teen shot in leg at Yorkwoods Plaza Sunday evening ANDREW PALAMARCHUK apalamarchuk@insidetoronto.com Police believe up to 20 people may have seen a 15-year-old boy get gunned down at a North York plaza Sunday night, but none has come forward. The teen was shot three times in the leg, severing arteries, at Yorkwoods Plaza at 2845 Jane St.
just before 10 p.m. He remains in hospital in critical condition. “We were told all day Monday that it didn’t look good and he may not pull through,” Det. Sgt. Al Coulter said yesterday. “We thought this was going to be a homicide.” The victim was riding a bicycle when two men in a car came up to him and opened fire. Coulter, of 31 Division, said police obtained security camera footage showing that 10 to 20 people were close by when the shooting occurred.
“It happens almost right in front of them, so we suspect that members of the community know who did this and we’re looking for them to come forward,” Coulter said. “It might be just one little bit of information in one little statement that will help us on the path of finding out who did it.” Some of the witnesses ran over to help the victim after the gunfire. “But when the police get there, none of them come forward and give us any statements,” Coulter said. “It’s really
frustrating.” Police have vague descriptions of the suspects. Coulter said the victim, who was known to police, appeared to have been targeted. “We’re not sure of the motive yet. We have our suspicions.” The teen isn’t well enough to speak to investigators. Coulter said police are still trying to collect more surveillance videos from the area.
