The man charged with second degree murder in the cellphone shooting of Jeremy Cook will be in court today.
Mohamed Ibrahim Sail, 24, turned himself in to police last Friday after a warrant was issued for his arrest earlier in the week.
He is scheduled to appear before a judge by video this morning. Sail went to Sir Frederick Banting Secondary School in London and those who knew him say he was soft spoken and well mannered.
Cook, 18, was gunned down in the early morning hours of June 14.
Investigators say the 18-year-old was tracking a cellphone he had left in a taxi the night before.
The software led him to the Huron and Highbury Ave. area of the city, where he found a car with three men inside. When he approached the car the driver tried to get away, but Cook grabbed onto the driver's side door. Police say the driver travelled a short distance before Cook was shot.
He was found dead behind the plaza at Huron and Highbury. The cellphone was found a short distance away, near the abandoned car used in the murder.
A second man wanted in connection the shooting is dead.
The body of Muhab Sultan, 23, was pulled from the Rideau River in Ottawa last month following a police chase.
In June, police had initially issued a warrant for Sultan. Police in Ottawa spotted Sultan and he tried to escape into the Rideau River, where he drowned. The province's Special Investigations Unit is probing the circumstances surrounding Sultan's death.
