Grieving friends built a memorial for their neighbour Trevor Dalton John, 31, who was killed outside an Oakwood Village apartment complex on Winona Drive early Tuesday morning.
As speculation swirls about the shooting death of his oldest child, a Toronto father has been left grappling with more questions than answers.
Trevor John told the Star he never had an inkling of concern about any looming threat that his namesake, Trevor Dalton John, might have been facing in the days leading up to Tuesday.
That's when a vehicle pulled up and a shooter fired a barrage of bullets at the 31-year-old father of two, moments after he had left his Oakwood Village apartment complex at about la.m.
The security company owner collapsed just steps from where he was shot. He had been walking his young son, younger brother and his son's mother, to a vehicle parked outside the lowrise apartment complex on Winona Drive.
John said he's in the dark about what led to his son's shooting "That's why it's so difficult to understand," he said.
"Although he was a big man, he was very gentle." he said of his son, who was a towering figure at six-foot-three.
John added he's now putting his trust in investigators to find those responsible for the shooting.
