Woman shot outside Mississauga bar was innocent bystander: investigators
July 19, 2019
"Investigators say a 24-year-old London Ont. woman struck by an errant bullet and killed in the parking lot of a Mississauga bar earlier this month was just out having a good time with her friends when a gunman showed up and opened fire on another man.

Peel Regional Police Insp. Martin Ottaway said Jackline Keji Gore was standing in the parking lot of Fume Bar and Lounge on Torbram Road at 2:48 a.m. on July 8, when a crossover-style vehicle pulled into the lot and a hooded gunman got out.

“A suspect approached a group of men standing by the doors to thebar and the suspect started shooting at one of the men, who then fled through parking lot,” Ottaway said. The suspect continued to shoot at him as he fled.”

"Keji Gore’s parents stood near the podium during a press conference Friday morning but both were too distraught to speak.

Their daughter was a York University basketball player who Swaka said was loved by her family and respected in her community."

"Ottaway said anyone with information should call police at 905-453-2121, ext. 3205."

"He added that anyone who was driving in the area of Torbram and Derry Roads from 1 a.m. that morning until 3 a.m. and has dashcam video or other media from their vehicle should offer it up to investigators"

‘WORST NIGHTMARE’: Family pleads for help catching innocent victim’s killer
"Jackline Keji Gore was a talented high school basketball star with her whole life ahead of her after earning a university scholarship — first at York before moving to Western — to study psychology.

Instead, the 24-year-old from London, Ont., who was also worked at a bank and a restaurant post-university, was shot down in front of a Mississauga bar on July 8, an innocent bystander in what police are calling “a heinous act.”

Now her family and friends — mother Mary Wani, father David Gore, cousin James Swaka and community leader Alfred Rombe — are asking whoever killed her to surrender to cops and urging the public to “speak up for Jackline.”

"The family’s grief is still so fresh that they left without taking any questions from reporters after Swaka delivered his brief statement.

Homicide Insp. Martin Ottaway told the media Keji Gore, whose death marked the region’s 10th murder of the year, had responded to a social media invitation to a birthday party on July 7 at Fume Bar and Lounge at Torbram and Drew Rds.

She and other friends exited the bar and were talking in the parking lot when a masked gunman wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt approached a group of men near the bar’s front door at 2:38 a.m. and opened fire.

A single bullet hit and killed her."

This is a sad story. Such a beautiful young woman. Certainly there are people that know who the shooter is, but they aren't likely to roll over without serious incentive.
