Under Canadian law, offenders are entitled to statutory release after serving two-thirds of their sentence. However, the parole board imposes conditions and restrictions on an inmate’s release, such as drug testing, alchohol bans and prohibitions on associating with known criminals.

If an offender violates the conditions, their release can be suspended.

Toronto Police said Ogba was walking towards his parked car when he was approached by two men from behind.

Investigators said the men fired multiple rounds at Ogba before fleeing on foot and escaping in an SUV waiting for them near the Scarlettwood Court community housing complex.

Mohamed will be back in court next week for the first-degree murder of Ogba. Two other men — Abdirahman Islow, 27, and Trevaughan Miller, 19 — also face charges of first-degree murder in the killing.

The parole decision stated Mohamed fired five shots into the window of an Edmonton cafe where patrons inside were terrified in September 2013. Mohamed, who admitted he fired the gun a week earlier, was busted “trying to dispose of the prohibited weapons” as he was already under a weapons prohibition. He’s now under a life-time weapons ban.

When Mohamed was freed in January 2017 on statutory release, the parole board imposed conditions banning him from possessing or taking non-prescribed drugs or possessing alcohol and he wasn’t suppose to associate with criminals.

However, he was arrested on Jan. 12, 2017 for “historical outstanding charges,” received a short additional sentence for failing to appear in court, escaping lawful custody and possessing drugs.
