Quincy conceded the sentence was “lenient,” but added that the Crown had a circumstantial case at best based largely on eyewitness accounts from six years ago. In addition, Zekavica said, none of the witnesses could positively identify Mohamoud as the driver involved if the case went to trial.

With extra credit given for time spent in pre-sentence custody, Mohamoud will only serve another two-and-a-half months in jail. Mohamoud is also prohibited from driving for five years and must submit a DNA sample that will go into the national registry, the judge said.

Mohamoud, 27, has already pleaded guilty for his role in an Edmonton rape case and was flown back to Ontario in 2015 to face charges relating to the fatal hit-and-run at a gas station near his home.

Mohamoud is accused of committing the fatal hit-and-run while under stringent house arrest bail conditions.

The last time Mohamoud was out on bail — in Edmonton in early 2012 — he disappeared for nearly three years.

Rad, 62, was killed when he tried to prevent the so-called "pump-and-run" fuel theft at the Petro-Canada station on the corner of Southdown Road and Truscott Drive.

Mohamoud was arrested five months later but released on bail.

Shortly after Mohamoud was released, Edmonton police arrested him in Etobicoke on an outstanding warrant related to a sexual interference charge on a teenage girl.

Under police escort, he flew to Alberta to be formally charged. He was released on bail again, but failed to report to his probation officer the following month.

A tip from a co-worker led the RCMP to Mohamoud back on Jan. 27, 2015, with heavily-armed tactical officers arresting him at an oilsands camp just outside Fort McMurray, Alberta.

On Oct. 14, 2015, Mohamoud pleaded guilty to sexual contact with a child, in relation to an incident with a teenaged girl inside an apartment building laundry room in Edmonton.

In the Mississauga case, Mohamoud faced charges of failure to remain causing death, criminal negligence causing death, theft under $5,000, and breach of recognizance.

Mohamoud was at the top of Peel's "Fugitive List" for more than a year.
