McIntosh was shot dead after getting into an “altercation” with at least three men at the Popeye’s restaurant in Cooksville, located in the plaza at Hurontario and King streets, just before 3:30 p.m. Det. Sgt. Sean Brennan said the victim met with the men there and was then killed in the “washroom area.”

Family members of the dead man have set up a GoFundMe page as they try to raise money to pay for the funeral.

“ … a very unfortunate tragedy took place that has left many of us ill-spirited and broken hearted. The life of Kamar McIntosh was taken due to gun violence. As family and friends of Kamar, we are all torn apart by what has happened,” said family member Bridgette McIntosh in her online post. “He was a very ambitious and caring young man who put a smile on all of our faces.”

Bridgette went on to write that the victim was “too young and gone too soon.”

Meanwhile, police also revealed that the mysterious death of a Mississauga grandmother who was killed earlier this year in Lakeview before her body was found on her driveway, was the victim of a domestic crime.

Gil Dasilva, 64, of Mississauga, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Cheryl McVarish, 43. Blunt force trauma was a contributing factor in her death and police believe she was killed inside her home and her body hidden there for a period of time before it was dumped on the driveway.

Dasilva is the father of McVarish’s live-in boyfriend. The accused was arrested Tuesday, May 2 at the home.

Police said they have received information that Dasilva had been convicted of "an incident" outside of Canada, but they are working to confirm that information. A friend of the family said he was released from jail just six months earlier, after serving time for an offence, possibly in Portugal.

McVarish, a mother and grandmother, had been reported missing after she left her Westmount Avenue home to go to the store around 11 a.m. Monday, March 13. She was last seen in the area of Lakeshore Road East and Cawthra Road, just a 10-minute walk from home, around 11:30 a.m. that same day.

Her body was found exactly one week later, just after 9 a.m. on Monday, March 20. A dog walker spotted her in her driveway, which is located on First Street, around the corner from the front of her home.

Police believe she was killed on the day she went missing.

Evans also revealed police have made an arrest in connection with a Brampton murder earlier this year in which 19-year-old Toronto resident Jahsavior Reid was fatally shot in a motel room.

Travis Babbington, 24, of Brampton, has been charged with first-degree murder in that death, but police are also searching for other suspects.

Det. Sgt. Dan Johnstone said both the victim and the accused were involved in “criminal activity” that relates to the death.

Already in trouble with the law, Reid was a long way from his childhood Christian camp days when he was shot dead during an "altercation" in a Brampton motel room Monday night, Feb. 20.

"He was a good kid, with a good heart," recalled Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) Ontario Director Ivhan Rusli in a Facebook remembrance of the young man he used to know. "It's always a tragedy for life to end so early."

Reid, of Toronto, would attend CEFOntario camps for several years as he was growing up, but even back then, Rusli knew his future was uncertain.

"He had a difficult home life and very little support around him, yet he would come out to our camps and clubs whenever he could," Rusli wrote. "I remember picking him up and driving him to various events. I remember talking to him about life and how he wanted to be different, but didn't see a way out.

That future ended around 10:20 p.m. at the Motel 6 on Steelwell Road, in the area of Steeles Avenue East and Highway 410 in Brampton. Reid, who was known to police, was found dead in the motel room, shot in what Peel police say was a "targeted" attack.

Anyone with information can call police at 905-453-2121, ext. 3205 or Peel Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
