Only five hours into the new year, a 21-year-old man died after being shot in a car in Toronto, a city still reeling from a year of record gun crime that culminated in the fatal Boxing Day shooting of a teenager shopping with her family. Mayor David Miller said yester- day’s shooting appeared to be con- nected to gangs and the drug trade. Police said they had no evidence of this, but did say that the victim was on probation for his role in shooting another man in the head nearly three years ago.

Mr. Miller said local, provincial and federal government officials would meet Wednesday to start mo- bilizing part of the $50-million Lib- eral Leader Paul Martin promised just before the start of the election campaign for community programs to prevent young people from turn- ing to crime. On the weekend, Mr. Martin of- fered his support to a proposal by Mr. Miller and Premier Dal- ton McGuinty to put the onus on suspects charged with gun crimes to explain why they should be released DAVID BLUMENFELD/THE GLOBE AND MAIL on bail while waiting for trial.
