Jordan Manners' mother threatened

02 Jun 2007, 09:16 AM

Shots fired, Manners' mother moved to safe house:
The night of Jordan Manners' funeral three dozen shots were fired outside of the housing complex of Lorraine Small, the mother of slain Toronto student Jordan Manners. A Jermaine Johnson was arrested in connection with the shots fired.

Lorraine Small has also been calling for an end to violence in the city and has received several threats because of it.

Courtney Betty, the family's lawyer, confirmed there have been other threats made against the family, but Small is not currently under police protection.

"There were threats made at the funeral home, outside the funeral home by individuals toward Lorraine and other members of the family," Betty told CTV News.

That's just great. This poor woman is trying to use her son's death as a call to stop violence in Toronto and she receives death threats over it.

If I was the head of Toronto's police there would be so many sweeps and crackdowns going through that neighborhood right now the thugs wouldn't know what hit them.

Hopefully the scumbags that are threatening Lorraine Small will be reaping what they sow very soon.

Crown prosecutors seek adult sentences

29 May 2007, 10:18 AM

Crown seeking adult sentences in Manners death:
I'm actually a little surprised at this but Crown prosecutors are seeking to haver the two suspects in the shooting death of Jordan Manners sentenced as adults.

Crown prosecutors said they will seek adult sentencing should the two 17-year-old males charged with the death of teenager Jordan Manners be found guilty.

Two youths have been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting that took place at C.W. Jefferys Collegiate Institute in the Jane-and-Finch area of northwestern Toronto last Wednesday.

The Toronto Star is reporting the Crown will pursue adult sentences for the males should it be proven they were responsible for 15-year-old Jordan's death.

No word on what kind of sentence that usually involves.

Was Jordan Manners' death an accident?

29 May 2007, 12:32 AM

Friend Claims Manners' Killing Was "Tragic Accident":
An acquaintance of those involved in the shooting death of Jordan Manners says that the shooting may have been an accident...

The acquaintance, who fears being identified, was not there when the shooting took place, but claims to have spoken directly to those who were and says it was all a terrible mishap. "A couple of the boys were in the bathroom," he reveals. "They're all friends, and they were fooling around with the gun. One of them said, "Do you want to know what a real firecracker feels like?" And he placed it on Jordan's chest and it went off by accident."

One of the original theories for motive was that this was a retaliation for a prank involving a firecracker the day before and recently it was announced that Manners and his assailants were friends.

If this is true I expect the school, C.W. Jeffreys Collegiate Institute, will come under fire for allowing a gun onto its premises.

2nd suspect in Jordan Manners' murder turns himself in

28 May 2007, 11:30 AM

Teens charged in boy's slaying:
The second suspect in the school shooting death of Jordan manners has turned himself in but that's not the big story. The big story is that both suspects had the audacity to attend memorial barbecue for Manners and give condolences to Jordan Manners' mother...

The teens were among the more than 1,000 people who attended a Saturday memorial barbecue for Manners, who died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

Word of the charges stunned area residents.

"(One suspect) just had a baby girl about a week ago," said one teen.

"The day it happened they (the suspects) went to the mother to pass condolences.

Not only that but they are said to be best friends of Jordan...

One teen "is Jordan's best friend," said Marcia Campbell, whose home was raided by police. Officers found the suspect asleep in the home.

He is a friend of Jordan's and her son, Jabarie, 16, she said.

"They're all friends," she said. "Jordan was here two weeks ago."

The suspect, Campbell said, told her he was the only one who stayed with Jordan after he was shot and tried to revive him.

Sorry but friends don't shoot each other in the chest.

Clarification on C.W. Jeffreys shooting motive

24 May 2007, 01:17 PM

Teen Allegedly Killed Over Prank:
Thanks to Harding we have somewhat a confirmation as to the motive behind the shooting of Jordan Manners. Previously it was mentioned that the shooting was either in retaliation from a prank or it stemmed from a fight at a nearby pool. It turns out both were right.

Police reported the shooting happened near the school's indoor pool and although they're still investigating what prompted this murder, officials have reason to believe Manners was shot in retaliation over a prank he pulled the day before with a firework.

If everyone seems to know exactly how it happened how does no one know exactly who the gunman is. Maybe it's that wall of silence Harding was telling me about.

The gunman still remains unidentified and at large.

More from C.W. Jeffreys Collegiate Institute

24 May 2007, 09:41 AM

Prank turns deadly as T.O. student slain:
Reports are stating that the reason Jordan Manners was shot was retaliation for a prank.

"He (the gunman) got hit with a firecracker so he shot the guy in the chest with a gun," said Nick Gangapersaud, 16.

The shooter is still on the loose. He may not be named due to Canada's Youthful Offenders Act which prohibits publishing the names of criminal minors.

From what I've been told by T.O. Crime blogger Harding the neighborhood where the shooting occurred is notorious for having a "wall of silence" when it comes to witnesses coming forward.

Another report says the incident stemmed from a fight at a nearby pool.

I'll post more details as they become available.
