The cycle of Toronto's gun violence that statistics don't show
Manage episode 506241936 series 2641716
Guest: Jason Miller, Toronto Star crime reporter
On Aug.16, eight-year-old JahVai Roy was shot and killed in his North York apartment when a bullet pierced his bedroom window. A teenager has since been charged, and Toronto police are looking for two more teen suspects. But for JahVai’s family, the trauma didn’t end that night. They’re now displaced, grieving, and navigating a system with few real supports.
In this episode, we look at how gun violence continues to disproportionately impact Toronto’s most marginalized communities—even as crime stats go down—and what we’re still missing in how we respond to the aftermath.
