Maybe 2009 will be a murder free year like Quebec City, but i doubt it. There were a few shootings in the last two nights as well. Quote:

Does anybody really expect the murder rate for Canadian Cities to be any different than it was last year?
I imagine it will pretty much be the same.
|
Those statistics are way off, as was pointed out in the other article that had them.
Overall the rate will probably be about the same though year over year. |

Constable Jacqueline Chaput tells CJOB the call came in at 2:40 a.m. (wed) regarding a shooting at a residence in the 600 block of Magnus Street between Mackenzie and Parr Streets. She says the woman who was shot was conveyed to hospital with life threatening injuries, but succumbed to her wounds. Chaput says the shooting does not appear to be a domestic matter, partly because the woman was inside the home when she was shot while the shooter was outside the house. The woman's age has not been released, and police say there have been no arrests yet or information available on any suspects. The homicide unit is investigating a number of witnesses. CJOB Colleen Bready reporting. |
Toronto has one as well, 14 y-o female, Police caught the two little pricks who did it too.

Years ago it seemed that only a small handful of murders occured by gun. Now it seems like the preferred weapon of choice in Winnipeg. |

Updated Wed. Jan. 2 2008 6:30 PM ET toronto.ctv.ca A 14-year-old girl who died after being stabbed on New Year's Day is the daughter of two Toronto police officers, CTV News has confirmed. Police have not identified the victim, who died after being attacked on Tuesday night. She is the city's first murder of the year. On Wednesday, police arrested a 17-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl and charged them with first-degree murder. |
Damn :(
Toronto gets off to an early start as usual. I'm betting Hamilton will have it's first at some point this month as well, though it'll probably still be a quiet year. |
Thunder Bay will have one by the end of the month. 2006 and 2007 were both like that. A murder in late January then another in November or December.
|
Quebec City got his first murder since OCT 2006.

Man found dead in condo garage is Montreal's first homicide of 2008
By The Canadian Press
Montreal police say a man found shot in a condominium parking garage is the city's first reported homicide of 2008. Police say the victim is in his 40s and was found lying between two parked cars by tenants of the building in east-end Montreal about 1 p.m. today. Montreal police spokeswoman Lynne Labelle says a firearm and shell casings were also found near the body. It is unknown if the victim was a resident of the condominium. Montreal police major-crimes squad detectives are investigating. They say they think the victim may have been killed early Monday morning. |
a certain "L" city is also missing and 2 cities that start with "Saint".
Odd they would not include all CMA. |

Edmonton's first murder?
http://www.canada.com/edmontonjourna...6-b2c5924b3310 Woman's frozen body found lying outside northside townhouse Mike Sadava, The Edmonton Journal Published: 1:03 am EDMONTON - Police are investigating the suspicious death of a young woman whose body was found frozen outside a north-end townhouse on Tuesday morning. A resident of the Parkview townhouse complex near 150th Avenue and 118th Street reported the body shortly before 10 a.m. |
The ME confirmed Calgary's #2, and Edmonton's ME determined that suspicious death there wasn't a homicide.
|
And possibly #3 for Calgary now, they found a body in a parking garage over by broadcast hill.
Edit: Yep, #3 is confirmed Quote:

Toronto is sitting at 1.

a rather odd event the homicide unit was called to a agrivated asult today.. From The Crime File... JAN 11 2008 11:20 AM http://cjob.com/images/common/icon_bookmark.gif Bookmark Page http://cjob.com/images/common/icon_email.gif Email to a friend http://cjob.com/images/common/icon_print.gif Print Page http://cjob.com/images/common/icon_rss.gif About RSS The Winnipeg Police Services' Homicide Unit is looking into an aggravated assault. Police say an unidentified youth was found unconscious early Friday morning in the 400 block of Kennedy. Constable Jeff Norman says it's not standard for the Homicide Unit to investigate in this type of situation, but adds they were called in because the boy was in critical condition when he went to hospital. Norman says the matter is being treated as suspicious, adding the boy was not suffering from any obvious injuries like gunshot or stab wounds. Police have charged a 22-year old man in connection with the theft of jewellery from a home in River Heights. Police say the suspect was driving a stolen vehicle when police caught up to him last month. That's when they found the jewellery. Police linked it to a residential robbery on Renfrew Street. Roderick Desmond Kyle Stranger has been charged with break, enter and theft, uttering threats, and breach of probation. Police found crack cocaine, cash, and two firearms in the execution of a search warrant today in the 300 block of Inkster. 23-year old Marc Stephen Girouard faces numerous charges. CJOB's Lorne Edwards reporting. |
Toronto is at 2 homicides after a shooting death on Yonge street on Saturday morning (1am).
|
Ottawa is still clean!
People seem to be dropping like flies in other cities (Toronto,Calgary,Edmonton,Montreal)... |
Don't worry, I'm still around. Just got done boarding up my last window!

Edit - 2 murders so far on the Hobbema Reserve. Quote:

Ahh, I see Canada's heavy hitters in this catergory are quick out of the gates. For a mid-size centre, Winnipeg sure manages to keep pace with the big boys :(.

How long can Hobbema keep up with the lead pack?
|
The third for Toronto. Yet another innocent bystander shot in Riverdale of all places. A place mostly devoid of any serious gangs. Gun crime is a growing scourge in many Canadian cities it seems. You would think that the government would actually do something about it.
|
Gag my wild maggot.
I wish government would do something about people who say government should do something. Oh shit! :koko:
Everyone talks about Edmonton, but my point of view is if it isn't tourists, business travellers, or pillars of the community, arrest the murder suspect and then move the hell on. The people who are dying, and where they are dying don't cause me to shiver in the night. :hell: |
looking at crimestat winnipegs crime rate is down 47% so far this year? over this same time period last year jan 1st to jan 13 this weeks data will be posted next week... wish it was live

#1 for Ottawa.a 22 year old man killed his father.
|
The accused is a paranoid schizophrenic and his father was a really nice man. I met them many times. Very tragic.

For those who haven't heard about it, it appears that the lady (in her early 40's) was followed from the CTrain and killed beside the church adjacent to one of the NE CTrain stations in a random attack. Happened just days before council was set to look at a safety audit of the transit system, so this just made it impossible for them to not authorize the audit. |
