Canada: “Barbeque shooter” is a former refugee from Somalia

No, he didn’t shoot a barbeque even if the title of the article in CNews sounds like that is what he did. He killed people eating barbecue in what is being described as a drug gang scuffle.
TORONTO – An accused gunman charged with firing a weapon at a Scarborough barbeque where two people were killed and 23 others wounded arrived in Canada as a refugee from Somalia seeking a better life, border officials say.
But the 19-year-old allegedly “fell in with the wrong crowd” after obtaining Canadian citizenship, officers of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said.
The officers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said since he has been granted Canadian citizenship, it would be nearly impossible to deport him in the event of a conviction.
Nahom Tsegazab, 19, of Toronto, has been charged with the reckless discharge of a firearm.

Officers suspect the gunfight, which was the worst in Toronto, stemmed from a dispute between the Galloway Boys and Malvern Crew street gangs over turf or drugs.
What, no Somali Hot Boyz in Canada? And, just think the citizens of Canada have paid for his upkeep—to raise him and educate him for how many years we aren’t told, but surely now they will get to feed and cloth him for most likely the rest of his life behind bars.

“Nahom Tsegazab” is not a Somali name.

Tell it to this Canadian publication and when they correct it, or you find a correction for his nationality I’ll report it….doesn’t sound Canadian either…

It’s Ethiopian. And not Somali-Ethiopian (Ogaden), but habesha I think…. search Tsegazab and look at the results that don’t stem from this incident. Nahom is Biblical reference. Something is off with the reporting — there’s nothing Somali about that name, the words aren’t even Arabic or afSomali.
