Members of Adu Boakye‘s family, including his wife and four children, have arrived at Toronto Airport amid a scene of deep sorrow.
They were flown from Ghana to attend his funeral following his tragic death.
In a video posted on EDHUB’s X account, the grieving family is seen in black mourning attire, holding photos of the deceased and visibly distressed.
“The family, including the wife and four children of 39-year-old Adu Boakye, the Ghanaian man who was shot dead at a Toronto bus stop three months after moving there, have been flown to Toronto, Canada for his funeral rites,” parts of the post read.
Adu Boakye, a 39-year-old Ghanaian, was fatally shot in Toronto on February 17.
He had moved to Canada just three months earlier.
The incident occurred in the Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue area, where Boakye was struck by gunfire, twice in the stomach in a random attack.
He later died from his injuries in the hospital.
Described by friends as a respectful and quiet man, Boakye was the primary supporter of his family back in Ghana.
His death has sparked an online fundraiser to assist his family with travel and funeral expenses.
The shooting also injured a 16-year-old bus stop passenger, who is now recovering.
Police have confirmed that the attack was unprovoked and the victims were unrelated to the suspect or each other.
