Two men are facing second-degree murder charges in the Sunday stabbing death of 17-year-old Issaiah Clachar.
In addition to the second-degree murder charges, Keanu Croteau, 18, and Mohamad Hamade, 25, both of Ottawa are also facing attempted murder charges in relation to the stabbing of a second man, Jeremy Cameron, according to court documents.
Croteau and Hamade were arrested Sunday after the multiple stabbing in Ottawa’s east end. They are expected to appear in court this morning.
Issaiah Clachar was stabbed to death early Sunday morning outside a highrise apartment at 2020 Jasmine Cr. — the same building where 18-year-old Connor Stevenson was killed in a drug-related stabbing in April.
Police said the incident was drug-related.
Paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after midnight. They found Clachar with multiple stab wounds. He later died of his injuries at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.
Clachar moved to Ottawa in December from Cornwall. He is the city’s sixth homicide victim of 2015.
A 23-year-old man was also stabbed and taken to The Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus, where he was listed in serious but stable condition.
Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Bruce Pirt said the man was being protected by police at the hospital. The man will be guarded “until we figure out where we’re at,” Pirt said. “If we deem there’s no real threat, we’ll pull the guard off.”
A third man, believed to be in his 20s, was found some time later with “multiple soft tissue injuries,” paramedics said.
Police have two people in custody after a multiple stabbing on Jasmine Crescent early Sunday in which a 17-year-old male was fatally injured and two others wounded.
Police apprehended two men along the side of Highway 174 near Blair Road shortly after the stabbing. The area was marked off with police tape Sunday.
Some residents of 2020 Jasmine Cr. told on Sunday of hearing shouting and loud arguments late Saturday night through their open apartment windows. “I thought it was young people having a battle,” said Céline D’Etcheverry.
Another resident, who gave only her first name, Zeine, also heard sounds of fighting as she was lying in her bed.
She heard one person say, “No, no,” then, “I’ll give you a cheque.” After that, she said, she heard a voice softly call once for help. “That’s it. I didn’t hear anything after that.”
The woman said she remained in her bed and didn’t call police. “I was so afraid. I have kids and I didn’t want to make noise.”
Clachar’s Facebook page lists his home as Kingston, Jamaica, and says he attended Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School. But a posting on his Facebook page said he would be moving to Ottawa last December.
Hours after a teen was stabbed to death, police officers scour bushes and plants in front of 2020 Jasmine Cres. in Gloucester (Ottawa), Sunday, September 20, 2015. A 17-year-old teen is dead and two others are in hospital. Two arrests were made Sunday morning. Police continue to investigate Ottawa’s 6th homicide of 2015.
It’s not clear how many of his family members live in Canada, but they appear to include his father and his sister, who live in Toronto, and perhaps his mother.
Clachar’s girlfriend, Montrealer Trisha White, posted a poignant farewell on Facebook Sunday.
“R.I.P baby … I’m never gonna forget you or stop loving you,” she wrote. “You asked me everyday if I’m gonna be with you forever, and my answer is still the same and always will be the same. I will be with you and love you forever with all my heart.”
Other friends posted messages describing Clachar as a “great guy” who will be sorely missed.
“You brought so many smiles and laughter,” wrote Aaliha Kahawenion Lazore. “Everytime I seen you with the boys you were always making jokes and always smiling. You won’t be forgotten.”
Clachar’s profile picture shows a slender youth in a T-shirt and ball cap, gazing at a white smart phone. A backpack hangs on the door behind him.
That same backpack, along with a black toque and a single Nike sneaker, was visible behind yellow police tape Sunday near a red-and-white cone in a treed grassy area marking the spot where Clachar fell. A pellet gun and knife were also recovered at the scene.
Smears of blood were visible on the white tiles of the lobby at 2000 Jasmine Cr. and on the sidewalk outside, suggesting the violent incident, which pitted two small groups of youths against one another, began there.
There was another large smear of blood on a grey Jetta in a parking lot between the apartment blocks at 2020 and 2000 Jasmine Cr.
Hours after a teen was stabbed to death, a police forensics ID officer takes photos of blood splatter on a car parked in front of 2000-2020 Jasmine Cres. in Gloucester (Ottawa), Sunday, September 20, 2015.
Nearby, a black Acura sat as if poised to leave. A resident who wouldn’t give her name said she saw two men run to the car after the stabbing, but they abandoned it after it wouldn’t start.
Forensic officers, wearing blue gloves, were at the crime scene Sunday morning, beginning the painstaking job of gathering evidence.
The homicide comes just five months after Connor Stevenson, a student at nearby Gloucester High School, was stabbed multiple times as he stood in the sixth floor stairwell of his apartment at 2020 Jasmine Cr.
Stevenson’s mother, Laurie Beaudoin, reacted on Facebook to the latest stabbing. “I am telling you this world is f—–g crazy and I am really scared for our young people right now,” she wrote.
Not surprisingly, the two homicides have many residents on edge.
“It’s making me nervous, for sure,” said Bola Lanre, who moved Ottawa from Sault Ste. Marie two years ago to attend the University of Ottawa.
“I never experienced any of this in Sault Ste. Marie,” she said. “It’s kind of scary knowing there’s something like this going on. I’m just hoping nothing crazy happens again.”
Sumedh Raghavan, who has lived at 2020 Jasmine Cr. for seven years, said the crime problem has become a lot worse in recent months.
“It’s been getting out of hand, the amount of blade attacks going on,” he said. “Usually there’s stuff that goes on around here, but usually not at this level. It’s never been violent like it is now. It’s a bit unnerving.”
Raghavan blamed a small group of young males for the trouble, some of whom don’t even live in the area. “They have this gang mentality. They’re trying to make it like a ’hood.”
Hours after a teen was stabbed to death, a police forensics ID officer takes swabs of blood stains from a sidewalk in front of 2000 Jasmine Cres. in Gloucester (Ottawa), Sunday, September 20, 2015.
Tim Tierney, who represents the area on city council, said Clachar’s killing, like Stevenson’s in April, appears to have been targeted rather than random.
Even so, he said, “It’s still heartbreaking, because a lot of people in this community know these kids. This does not reflect that community at all. It’s a very safe community.”
Tierney said he will be meeting with police officials and Eli El-Chantiry, chair of the Ottawa Police Services Board, early in the week to “come up with a meaningful plan” to ensure that Jasmine Crescent residents feel safe.
That could involve a community meeting, similar to the one Tierney organized after Stevenson’s killing, he said.
Police officers will be very visible in the area for the next week or so, canvassing residents and answering questions. Tierney said he will be out as well to hear what residents are saying.
