You read it right. It’s just pure heinous, vicious violence.

“He was on his bicycle southbound heading to work,” said Det. Sgt. Mike Carbone.

Aaron Rankine-Wright, 19, did not make it there. Instead in an alleyway at Frankish Avenue and Sheridan Avenue, just south west of the corner of Dufferin and Dundas in Little Portugal, he was left bleeding on the roadway fighting for his life.

He was unsuccessful and became Toronto’s 39th homicide of 2018.

“A post-mortem examination was conducted on Sunday, June 10, 2018 and the cause of death was determined to be a stab wound to the chest.”

You could hear a pin drop in the news conference. It was just so dark. I mean they allegedly hit him with vehicle, punched and kicked him and then stabbed him in the chest? This was an execution. It’s just pure evil.
