Ogba, an electrical engineer, was fatally shot in the back several times onScarlettwoodCourt, nearScarlettRoad and Lawrence Avenue West, on Friday shortly after 11:00p.m.

Officers found him without vital signs lying on the groundand Toronto paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.Ogba, who had afiancee,was going to bemarried soon.

Police have said the shooters were armed with handguns. No weapons have been recovered.

ShankaransaidOgba, who did not have a criminal record or any known gangaffiliations, did not know his killers and they, in turn, did not have any interaction withOgbabefore ambushing him from behind.

The detective described the killing as cowardly.

"You're not so brave. You're just a coward,"Shankaransaid on Monday.

The video clips, which wereobtained by police fromToronto Community Housing, showthe gunmen exiting from the passenger side of what looks like a newer model Nissan Rouge SUVthat has pulled up and stopped.

Shankaran said Ogba, shortly before he was shot to death on the street,had left a building after visiting some friends there. The killers fled on foot from the scene and jumped in the SUV, which was waiting for them in the Scarlettwood Court community housing complex area.

Shankaranurged members of the public to pay particular attention to the clothing worn by the killers, and the two men themselves.

"I think these suspects are going to be very familiar to those thatknow them. And I ask that you look into your heart at this particular situation. The situation is not one gang member shooting another.It's an innocent man being gunned down walking to his cargoing to seehis fiancee," he said.

"In this instance, Mr. Ogba did nothing to bring this onto himself.The evidence that we have in front of us tells that Mr. Ogba'slifestyle, his activities, anything he did prior to, did not lead to this particular incident. The only thing that led to his death was simply walking out of that building at that particular time and place and having these two individuals meet with him in that particular parking lot."

Police released 10 photos of the two suspects and five photos of the getaway vehicle.

Shankaran said investigators believe the two gunmen were not residents ofthe area and harboured "animosity" towardthe neighbourhood.

ScarlettwoodCourthas seen its share of violence committed bypeoplefrom other neighbourhoods who have come into the community to avenge perceive slights. Residents from the housing complex as well have been arrested for acts ofviolencein other areas, he said.

Shankaransaid the death might be an act of revenge.
