Two videos obtained by CTV News Toronto show moments around the time of the shooting leading up to when a stray bullet killing a 44-year-old woman in Toronto’s Leslieville neighbourhood.
It happened Friday during the lunch hour on Queen Street East near Carlaw Avenue. The victim is Caroline Huebner-Makurat, a mother of two daughters, ages seven and four.
One of the videos shared with CTV News Toronto is from the cellphone of a man who works in the area, whose identity is being protected due to safety concerns.
The video shows a struggle between three men. One person is seen in the footage hitting the other on the head with a firearm before gunfire erupts.
“I hear four shots ring out and the one guy that was getting beat with the gun originally, which I didn’t know had a gun, I witnessed him with a gun in his hand and he was coming right at me. That’s when I turn away," he said.
After the shots are fired, there is an eerie silence. One of the men from the fight is seen casually walking away east on Queen Street East.
