Footage of suspect in deadly gas-and-dash released

 
Police have released surveillance camera footage showing a man accused of striking and killing an attendant as he sped away from a midtown gas station without paying last weekend.
The footage appears to show a man in a silver SUV pulling up to the pump at a gas station near Marlee and Roselawn avenues last Saturday night, getting out and filling his vehicle with gasoline. The video then shows the man reaching into the backseat, grabbing several gas cans and filling those up before getting back into the vehicle and driving away.
Police have previously accused Max Edwin Tutiven, 39, of second-degree murder in the death of Jayesh Prajapati.
Prajapati, 44, died after a motorist filled up an SUV with $112 worth of gas and left the Shell station without paying, hitting the attendant with his vehicle.
Police say Tutiven may have fled to Montreal.
He is described as white with a dark complexion, about five-foot-five, 220 to 230 pounds, with dark hair. The vehicle used is described as a 2000-2003, silver or beige, four-door Isuzu Rodeo.

Teacher found not guilty of sexual assault

 

A former Toronto elementary school teacher has been found not guilty of sexual assault and sexual interference.
Mary Gowans, 42, had been accused of having a sexual relationship with one of her former students who was 15 at the time.
During her trial the teenager, who is now 18 years old, testified that he began babysitting for Gowans after he entered high school and soon entered into a relationship with her that included sexual touching, kissing and the exchange of hundreds of text messages.
Gowans, however, contended that the student made up the story after he groped her and she turned him down.
Ontario Superior Court Justice John McMahon sided with Gowans and rendered his verdict Friday morning.

Alleged Galloway Boys member arrested in Domino’s Pizza shooting

Ad-Ham Khamis, 19, was arrested and charged with four counts of attempted murder on Sept. 20, 2012. TORONTO POLICE.

 

Toronto police have arrested a man they say is a member of the Galloway Boys, a notorious gang linked to this summer’s Danzig shooting in Scarborough.

Ad-Ham Khamis, 19, was arrested on Thursday and charged with four counts of attempted murder for two shootings last year, one of them at a Domino’s Pizza.

Police say the suspect opened fire on three people at the restaurant on Sept. 4, 2011.

He’s also accused of a shooting on Northfield Drive on Nov. 4, 2011, where one person was shot.

Khamis is also facing two charges of pointing a firearm, trafficking in firearms, and a slew of other weapons-related charges.

Khamis will appear in court Friday.

Police have linked the Galloway Boys gang to a shocking amount of recent violence in Scarborough, including the fatal mass shooting at a community barbecue on Danzig Street, the murder of D'Mitre Barnaby and several other shootings.

The gang’s efforts to protect its territory, in the Kingston and Galloway roads area, have fuelled the violence that has claimed the lives of three young people and wounded several others, police claim.
