Police have identified the man who was found in a pool of blood on the shoulder of Russell Road but were withholding anything about him on Sunday until they could find his family.
An autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was a gunshot wound but “no clear motive has been established,” Staff Sgt. Bruce Pirt of the major crime unit reported.
Police have not determined if there’s a gang element to the crime, Pirt said. Gunfire that was later reported on nearby St. Laurent Boulevard at about 5 p.m. Saturday appears to be unrelated.
A passerby spotted the man on the west shoulder at about 3:40 a.m. Saturday and called 911. Soon after, police confirmed that they were investigating a homicide, the 12th of 2018.
Neighbours on quiet Dwight Crescent, which backs onto Russell Road, said they heard nothing, other than the raging windstorm, but several awoke before dawn Saturday to the flashing lights of police cars.
By morning, their backyard fences were part of a police perimeter spanning the Ottawa Community Housing apartment complex to the north and Hawthorne United Church to the south.
Gisèle Tassé’s fence was toppled by the wind then yellow police tape appeared over the gap as forensics officers in white jumpsuits pored over the scene for evidence while colleagues measured the scene with surveying equipment.
The victim’s blood had dried on the pavement.
The police activity was a sight Tassé never seen so close to home.
“Never,” she said Saturday morning. “It’s a beautiful street.”
A few doors down, Rita Pontello and Dale Wilson were awakened by the lights of police cars, so bright it was “like a disco.”
“It’s tragic,” Pontello said.
Neighbours Joe and Irene Sleiman were awoken by the lights after being kept awake by the wind hurling pine cones against their windows.
Along with several police cruisers, Joe Sleiman also noticed the four-way flashers of a yellow Honda pulled over by the side of the road.
“You don’t want it in your backyard,” Irene Sleiman said. “It’s like a whole different world when you walk through that gate.”
The major crime unit appealed to any witnesses to call them at 613-236-1222 ext. 5493.
