A 24-year-old women on life support — who lost vital signs on Easter Sunday after being shot in the neck — may not have been the intended target of gunfire.
Homicide detectives said Tuesday that the shooting that sent Christina Voelzing to the hospital with critical injuries around 5 a.m. Sunday was not random, but that it may not have been targeted. Other people were inside unit D of 11 Sonnet Cres, a four-unit building near Old Richmond Road and Moodie Drive., when Voelzing was shot. Police are probing whether any of those people were the intended targets of the shooting.
Voelzing was found unconscious inside the home after neighbours heard several gunshots and a loud bang hours before the gunfire. She had no vital signs once at hospital. Voelzing was revived and taken into surgery. She remains on life support at her family’s request but is not expected to recover from her injuries.
In a statement to Postmedia, the coordinator of Voelzing’s graduate victimology program at Algonquin College said Christina “is kind, compassionate and loves caring for others.”
Benjamin Roebuck said Voelzing “is full of life, has an amazing sense of humour and inspiring resilience.”
“She is loved by many people,” he said.
Voelzing was set to graduate from the program in mere weeks and hoped to use her education to work with youth offenders and victims of crime.
Her mother, Sherryl Fraser, is the chair of general arts and sciences at the college.

According to her own social media profiles, Voelzing also studied hospitality at Algonquin, in 2012, and most recently worked as a server at Fitz Classic Grill.
Co-workers at the Bells Corners restaurant expressed their shock and disbelief when contacted Monday.
In 2010, as a then 18-year-old interested in Canadian politics, Voelzing wrote a letter to the Citizen shaming former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff for suggesting former Prime Minister Stephen Harper would attempt to restrict women’s access to safe abortions.
“It seems to me that Ignatieff is simply using this issue as a political football to gain points and to trap Harper into bringing this divisive issue back into the political discussion,” the teen wrote. She applauded Harper for “not taking the bait.”
Voelzing’s was the 17th shooting in a year that has seen 18 reported incidents of gunfire in city limits. In 2015, police investigated the same number of shootings by mid-year.
Police continue to investigate the attempt on her life and have no suspects in custody.
