Was Man Slain for Wearing Wrong Colour?


Shawn Mclean the quiet 22 year old is the fourth murder victim of 2008. Mclean was found lying in the snow, with a bullet wound to his head, outside a Toronto Church. People are wondering if yesterdays shooting was a case of mistaken identity, Shawn was a a very quiet young man, he moved from Jamaica to Toronto six years ago, he did not have very many friends, and he was never involved in any gangs, he spend most of his time in his room listening to music. On the day of the shooting Shawn was wearing a red hooded sweatshirt. Red is typically the colour associated with the Bloods, and Blue the colour associated with the Crips. He was not associated with either, he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.


Mclean was very close with his family, and his family is devastated. He will be missed.

The police are questioning to men in a black toyota, who were spotted near Mclean prior to the shooting.
