Our afua baah with what we're learning about the shooting and the young victim. >> Afua: toronto police, investigating the city's latest homicide as gun violence claims the life of another youth. >> This gun violence has to stop. You have to value human life. >> Afua: on monday, just after 1 a.m., officers were called for a shooting at a town house complex warden avenue and cataraqui crescent in scarborough a.16-year-old boy was found with a gunshot wound inside a home. He was rushed to hospital and despite lifesaving measures, he died shortly after. Jamal abdinasir. We spoke with one neighbour who knew and lives near the victim. >> He was always respectful. He was always kind to me. He called me uncle, you know. Like, it was -- so it's like I lost, like, you know, a brother from another mother, you know. That's how I feel. I feel I've lost, too. Very tragic. >> Afua: the home was taped off as detectives arrived on scene to investigate the area.

It's horrible because, like, as a parent I can just appeal for and I've already cried my tears, you know,. >> Afua: neighbours telling us that this is a quiet neighbourhood but they are shaken and upset that gun violence has claimed another young life in the city. >> This is a nice neighbourhood. It's full of families. You see in the summertime everybody, kids out playing. Just great neighbourhood. I refuse to live in fear. >> We're an example for the world that we can get along. We can have peace. >> Afua: there are security cameras in and around the complex where this investigation is happening. Police will be going through that footage but anyone who may have seen or heard anything is being asked to give police or crime stoppers a call. In scarborough, afua baah, "CityNews." >> Cynthia: more than a dozen arrests, hundreds of criminal charges and hundreds of recovered stolen vehicles. That's the result of a recent sting in peel region where police say they are making progress against auto thefts. 369 stolen vehicles worth $33 million have been recovered since november. Officers say the vehicles were being delivered to canadian shipping ports by a family in brampton. Investigators have identified 26 suspects and currently have 16 of them in custody. Most of them are in their 20s. >> These organized crime groups are victimizing young people, vulnerable young people luring them into this equation of being involved for cash in exchange for the theft of a vehicle. >> When these cars are sold for organized crime, it's to reinvest in other crimes. The worst of the worst crimes. The most heinous crimes is what auto theft is funding. >> Cynthia: 322 charges have been laid owe far -- so far. More than half of those arrested were out on bail for previous auto-theft-related crimes. It was at dizzying day for a group of students whose school has been transformed into a crime scene. Erica natividad looks at how a hail of gunfire triggered a wave of solidarity with the jewish community. >> Erica: a visible police presence remains here at a jewish elementary school, following an early morning shooting over the weekend. You can see a boarded-up window where a bullet pierced the glass. This incident has shaken the community but despite that, the school remained open today with a massive show of support from politicians and community leaders. >> What we experienced on shabbat morning was quite

shocking. The children go to school and they deserve to be safe. >> Erica: the school's principal, speaking at a large rally held monday morning before the start of school. Many in the crowd waving israeli flags in a show of support for the community. Rabbi yaacov vidal stressing the act over the weekend won't deter them from continuing to operate. >> We live in a democratic country and everyone deserves to be able to practice their religion in peace. [ Applause ] >> Every time you target us, we will stand up prouder. >> Erica: police say video evidence shows two suspects pulled up in a vehicle just before 5 a.m. Saturday morning and opened fire on the all girls elementary school from outside the gate. The suspects then returned to the vehicle and fled. No injuries have been reported. >> Hopefully this is a wake-up call for the broader community here in our city to come and stand shoulder to shoulder with us, to stand shoulder to shoulder with these girls so that no one in this city should face this kind of hate, intimidation and fear. >> Erica: while investigators say it's too early to determine whether the act was hate motivated, the service's guns and gangs unit and hate crime unit with investigating. Meanwhile political leaders denouncing the act as anti-semitic. >> We are here with a message asking canadians to stand up shoulder to shoulder with the jewish community, in defence of democracy, civility, human rights and the rule of law. >> It's a despicable anti-semitic act. It was a disgusting attempt to intimidate the community, to fill people with fear. >> We will not give up on school. We will not give up on our -- our pride, our children should continue going to school, and we know that our principal, rabbi vidal, is doing everything in order to keep our children safe. >> Erica: toronto police is increasing its presence at jewish education centres and synagogues across the city.

We turn now to the pro-palestinian encampment that remains in place at the university of toronto's downtown campus this hour, even though they were given until 8 a.m. This morning to clear out. Shauna hunt is live outside king's college circle. Shauna, negotiations continue at this hour as the university pushes forward with evicting the protesters. >> Shauna: yeah, that's right, cynthia. So, you know, there's still a sea of tents erected right in the middle of king's college circle. I'm going to step aside give you a better look at the scene here. You can see the encampment remains. It's still going strong. The deadline to clear out has come and gone and I can tell you these protesters are not budging. The university is now seeking legal action to shut down the occupation. >> U of t continues to propose committees, but we want commitments. We want divestment. We want disclosure and we want it now. >> Shauna: instead of complying with the school's deadline to leave, a massive rally was held, marking the moment of defiance with members of ontario's largest labour group out in full force to back up the student-led occupation. >> Let me be clear. We're just getting started. [ Crowd noise ] and we will keep coming back until they stop the threats and until students get the deal that they need. >> Shauna: the university of toronto is now seeking a court injunction to shut down the encampment with a hearing slated for tuesday morning. The notice of motion reportedly asks the court to authorize police to arrest and remove persons, objects and structures in the encampment, citing safety as the reason. In the meantime, the school's president addressed negotiations at a parliamentary committee that focused on anti-semitism at canadian universities. >> We have a very clearly articulated policy for considering divestment proposals which we have used in the past, and we are saying to the protest group that the policy is there. It lays out the steps and you're free to use it, and we hope that they will because that is the only way that we can actually address this. >> I think the point is is that you're actually even engaging in a negotiation with the 300 people who have, you know, illegally set up camp on the front lawn. >> Shauna: president meric gertler also told the committee that terminations and expulsions of students and faculty who have been camping on campus have not happened yet but that the process is under way, and at queen's park today the minister of colleges and universities once again spoke about the government's support to clear the occupation as soon as possible. >> Convocation is coming up in the next couple of weeks and this is a safety issue.
