Based on video evidence, Ibrahim, who was set to go on trial next week along with co-accused Damian Hudson, was not armed during the gunfight, Zambonini said. Hudson, who is charged with second-degree murder, allegedly fired the bullet that killed Huebner-Makurat, the mother of two young girls. Another alleged shooter, Ahmed Ali, remains wanted on a Canada-wide warrant.

On Monday, Superior Court Justice Maureen Forestell accepted Ibrahim鈥檚 plea and listened to Zambonini describe the events that led to the tragedy that unfolded the afternoon of July 7, 2023.

Ibrahim was among the drug dealers who regularly sold illicit narcotics, primarily fentanyl, to people who used the now-closed supervised-injection site, which did not itself provide narcotics. Ibrahim and others would congregate in the courtyard directly to the west of the centre, near the Queen Street East Presbyterian Church.

On July 5, a man alleged to be Hudson sent Ibrahim text messages saying he believed he鈥檇 been robbed by one of Ibrahim鈥檚 associates, writing, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 care about jail or cameras buddy robbed me,鈥� the prosecutor said. Hudson also allegedly sent texts to a worker at the supervised-injection site, Kahilia Mohammed, who shared them with Ibrahim. These texts amounted to a warning that Hudson would respond with deadly force if he was robbed again, Zambonini said.听

(Late last year, Mohammed pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to manslaughter after admitting she helped Ibrahim 鈥� with whom she developed a romantic relationship 鈥� on the day of the shooting. She is serving a conditional sentence of two years less a day.)

On the day of the shooting, video surveillance shows Ibrahim and a man wearing a white T-shirt 鈥� whom the Crown alleges was Hudson 鈥� interacting in the area of a park bench in a courtyard between the centre and the church, Zambonini said.

At approximately 12:30 p.m., a man dressed in black exited a TTC bus on the north side of the intersection of Queen and Carlaw. The man in black is observed on surveillance video looking around the corner of the building towards the courtyard, where the man in the white T-shirt and Ibrahim were located, the prosecutor continued.

In the video, which was played in court on Monday, the man in black can be seen running quickly across the street to join Ibrahim in attacking the man in the white T-shirt. At some point, the man in black produces a handgun and repeatedly strikes the man in the white T-shirt in the head.

The three men then struggle over a satchel that the man in the white shirt had been carrying.

Taking the satchel, Ibrahim can next be seen running away from the man in the white T-shirt with the man in black. The man in white then chases after them, and a further struggle ensues. As Ibrahim flees, a shootout occurs behind him between the men in black and white.

Huebner-Makurat, 44, was struck by a bullet fired during the shootout.

Ibrahim does not acknowledge that the robbery was premeditated; the Crown will endeavour to prove that it was at a future court hearing, Zambonini explained in court. A sentencing hearing will be held after that issue is resolved.

The Crown and defence will be asking for different sentences, but it will be up to the judge to decide. A sentence for manslaughter can range from a minimum of four years if a firearm is used to a maximum of life imprisonment.

The outrage over Huebner-Makurat鈥檚 killing 鈥� amid controversy over open drug use around the supervised-injection facility 鈥� contributed to Premier Doug Ford鈥檚 decision to ban supervised-injection sites near schools and daycares.听

Adrian Makurat, Huebner-Makurat鈥檚 husband, watched the proceedings by Zoom on Monday.
