Police in Toronto say a 24-year-old man who was gunned down outside his east-end home two months ago was killed simply because of the neighbourhood he lived in.
Det. Jason Shankaran told a news conference on Thursday that Samatar Farah was killed on April 15 as part of an alleged feud between people in his neighbourhood and a housing complex about 10 kilometres to the south.
Calling Farah ``one of the good guys,'' Shankaran said the man was not part of the alleged feud and was not known to police.
The detective says Farah was sitting outside when he was approached by two people who shot him. He was found dead in a parking lot by a passerby.
Shankaran says two men were arrested on Thursday as police executed 11 search warrants in Toronto and Ottawa.
He says arrest warrants have been issued for two other men and he called on them to surrender to police.
