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. Shooting victim Dillan Yhanike Anderson, 21, of Toronto, is shown in an image taken from CITY-TV. 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.
