several neighbours told the ottawa citizen they heard shots sunday night.
one, who would only go by his first name, devon, lives on the top floor of a nearby apartment building. he rushed to the window when he heard the shots, which he said took place on the corner of nepean and percy.
“i was watching tv, and then i heard a couple of shots … five would be my guess,” he said.
“and then, i was kind of sitting there for a second, ‘what the heck just happened?’ ” he said. “i came out onto the balcony and i saw people running from the corner here (at nepean and percy), and across to the other side of the building. that’s the pool building.
“they ran. there’s a pathway between the apartment building and a smaller building, and they ran along there. and then in front of that other building, they had an argument in front of the bushes. two guys. they were arguing about something. i don’t know what. and then everyone just scattered.”
homicide occurred near the intersection of percy and nepean street.
