A teenage boy was gunned down Tuesday night in a targeted shooting that police are probing for links to an ongoing feud between two former alleged criminal associates, the Citizen has learned.
Though several bullets were fired into the silver Jeep he was driving, Leslie Mwakio, 17, was hit once in the left side of the head. The fatal wound left him without vital signs by the time paramedics arrived to the scene of his killing — the city’s 20th of the year — in Hintonburg.
He was pronounced dead at hospital.
Patrol officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired around 10:40 p.m. Police located the Jeep, with Mwakio inside, outside 82 Bayswater Ave.
Canine and patrol officers immediately attempted to find suspects using tips from witnesses.
While Mwakio, who was also called “Jugg” or “Beans,” is known to police, investigators are attempting to determine whether a violent feud between the dead boy’s associates is to blame for the gunfire that claimed his life.
It’s alleged that a falling out between two men has so far led to both a firebomb in the Uplands area and shots fired in Barrhaven in recent weeks.
Police charged Milad Aslami with committing arson endangering life, possession of incendiary material and mischief after they a townhouse was firebombed and a car rammed into a car port at 3 Finch Pvt. on Nov. 12. Aslami’s former associate, Fesodin Feizi, lived at the gutted townhome.
The domestic violence unit also probed the fire, believing Aslami’s relationship with a woman played a role in the dispute between the two men.
Aslami lives at 119 Willow Creek Cir., where, on Nov. 19 — a week after allegedly setting the fire on Finch — police believe he was shot at multiple times while sitting on his front step. Aslami wasn’t hit and fled the scene. Guns and gangs investigators arrested Feizi on Nov. 22 and charged him with occupying a motor vehicle with a firearm.
In 2014, police also charged Feizi’s brother, Shamsodin Feizi, after bullets were fired on Willow Creek Circle. All charges against him were later withdrawn.
On Tuesday night, Mwakio was driving a Jeep that belongs to another of Feizi’s relatives, according to provincial transportation records.
Mwakio’s mother, Phillipina, was guarded by police officers at her apartment on Wiggins Private for much of the day Wednesday, following her son’s killing.
In 2011, when he was 12, Mwakio told the Ottawa Sun how excited he was to have a Big Brother who took him to Senators hockey games. His Big Brother, Andrew MacDonald, said at the time that Leslie had “become quite the statistician” after learning the ins and outs of the game.
The year before, in 2010, Mwakio, then 11, described to the newspaper the loss of his friend, Oli Joseph, a boy who died after falling into the cold Rideau River four days before Christmas.
They attended the same after-school program together.
“He was nice to everyone, even if people weren’t nice to him,” Mwakio said, holding back tears.
“I hope they get through this,” the boy said, years before his family would face their own grief.
No arrests have been made in Mwakio’s death.
