In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Adu Boakye, a 39-year-old Ghanaian man and father of four, faced a tragic fate just three months after his relocation to Canada.



The incident unfolded on Saturday, February 17, 2024, in North York, when Boakye became the unfortunate target of a random shooting.


Boakye was walking near a bus stop, going about his daily activities, when the senseless attack occurred. Struck three times by gunfire, he fought for his life as first responders and Good Samaritans tried desperately to save him. Despite their efforts, Boakye succumbed to his injuries, leaving behind a shattered community and grieving loved ones.


Canadian authorities swiftly responded to reports of gunfire in the vicinity of Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue. Upon reaching the scene, they discovered Boakye suffering from gunshot wounds. The circumstances surrounding the incident revealed that he and an unnamed 16-year-old boy had been shot indiscriminately while waiting for a bus in the area.


In a subsequent interview, Detective Phillip Campbell shared the grim details of the incident. The random nature of the shooting raises concerns about the safety of the community, leaving residents on edge. As the investigation unfolds, the Toronto Police Service has released images of the suspect, though the individual remains at large.


The tragic loss of Adu Boakye highlights the urgency for increased efforts to address and prevent such senseless acts of violence. The community mourns the untimely death of a man who had recently embarked on a new chapter in Canada, and questions linger about the motives behind the random shooting. As the investigation continues, the hope for justice remains, and the community stands united in the face of this heartbreaking loss.
