Ottawa police continued to investigate the city’s fourth homicide of the year as friends and family gathered for the funeral of 21-year-old Jabeir Jemmie.
The Algonquin College engineering student died in hospital Saturday morning from multiple stab wounds after an incident on the bar strip along Elgin Street.
More than 100 mourners, many from Ottawa’s small Eritrean community, attended the ceremony on Sunday afternoon at the Ottawa Mosque on Northwestern Avenue near Tunney’s Pasture.
Several friends of Jemmie’s from Woodroffe High School also attended the service. Dozens of women wept loudly as the casket carrying Jemmie’s body was carried out of the mosque.
Jemmie had been treated by paramedics in front of the Scotiabank branch at Elgin and Frank streets around 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. He was believed to have been involved in a fight in the Living Room nightclub next to the bank.
Police have examined video recordings from a camera mounted outside The Standard, a bar located next door to Living Room, but have not publicly identified a suspect in the stabbing.
“We’re still looking for someone to tell us something or something to tell us something,” Staff Sgt. Rob Drummond had said Saturday.
Jabeir Jemmie, an Algonquin College engineering student, died in hospital Saturday morning from multiple stab wounds.
Jemmie was stabbed several times in the abdomen in the minutes after bars closed. He lost vital signs as he arrived at hospital but was resuscitated and underwent emergency surgery. He died later Saturday morning.
On Saturday, Jemmie’s family had sat outside on the stoop of their Carlingwood home, consoling each other.
“He was a good kid,” a family member who asked not to be identified said. “To kids in the neighbourhood, he was a role model.”
When he was just eight years old, Jemmie, then a Grade 4 student at Connaught Public School, won a competition to design the cover of an annual community report. Students were asked to draw a representation of the word “community.” Jemmie responded by drawing people.
More than 100 mourners attended Jabeir Jemmie’s funeral on Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014
The young man, who went by the nickname Jabz online, liked the HBO show “The Wire” and listened to Nicki Minaj, according to his Facebook profile.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen the altercation or have any other relevant information to contact their major crime unit at 613-236-1222 ext. 5493.
