''When Lana Loncar first heard about a shooting in Leslieville last week that claimed the life of a mother of two, her first thought was, “Here we go again,” she said.
Nearly nine years after her sister
Jelena was killed by a stray bullet outside a now-shuttered downtown nightclub, she said she and her family continue to grieve the tragic loss.
“Another life lost to absolute senseless violence,” Loncar said of
44-year-old Karolina Huebner-Makurat, who was struck and killed by a stray bullet while walking near Queen Street East and Carlaw Avenue last Friday afternoon.''
Loncar said she hopes this case has a more successful outcome than her sister’s.
Jelena Loncar, 32, was killed by an unidentified gunman outside C Lounge, located near Wellington and Portland streets, in the early morning hours of Aug. 26, 2014.
She had just finished working a shift at a nearby restaurant and went to the nightclub to wish a friend a happy birthday.''
“I guess she made it there when it was already past last call and so she waited for her (friend) outside,” her sister told CP24.com in an interview on Tuesday.
A short time later, an altercation broke out in front of the bar and when gunfire erupted, Jelena was struck and killed.
“My sister wanted to go out after work. She didn’t think it was going to be a dangerous evening,” Loncar said.''
''So far, there has not been enough evidence to make an arrest in the case.
“It was late at night. The cameras around were pretty crappy and yes there were tonnes of people around, but when guns start going off, people don’t really look where the bullets are coming from. They just run,” Loncar said.
Detectives involved in the case, she said, have also indicated that some key witnesses were not cooperative.''
In August 2015, 26-year-old Ariela Navarro-Fenoy was struck and killed by gunfire outside of Muzik nightclub on the grounds of Exhibition Place after shots rang out at an OVO Fest after-party. Police said at the time that they did not believe she was the intended target of the shooting and to date, her murder has not been solved.
''In August of the following year, 61-year-old
Peggy Ann Smith was killed after nearly a dozen shots were fired in broad daylight in the residential area of Dundas and Munro streets in Riverdale. At the time, Smith was visiting with her daughter and two of her grandchildren. No arrests have been made in her murder.''
