Toronto mall shooting: Victim’s family renews appeal to find killers years after fatal attack
Seven years after her son’s murder, Althea McDonald often wonders if she’s crossed paths with the four suspects wanted for killing her son, Jovane Clarke. When she sees a story on the news about a gun seizure, she wonders if the firearm used in her son’s murder has been recovered.
“Every time I see a story like that, I’m always waiting for my phone to ring. I’m like, I hope they find the gun that killed my son,” said McDonald, who is upset knowing her son’s killers are still roaming the streets. “They get to go out and enjoy their lives.” she told Global News on the eve of the seven-year anniversary of her son’s murder.
On Aug. 31, 2017, Clarke, who was 22, drove from his home to North York’s Sheridan Mall to get some income tax documents from an accountant. As he was leaving the mall, police say four suspects got out of a car, ambushed him and opened fire in the busy parking lot. Two pursued Clarke as he ran back into the mall for cover and one followed him in before Clarke tripped and fell to the ground. It’s there that Clarke was pronounced dead.
Crime Specialist Catherine McDonald has the details.
