Collins and Cyprian

Cyprian: For the grieving family inside, it a reminder that the violence the Ghanaian immigrants had hoped to leave behind instead found them in their new home, according to Metro News. Gunfire had erupted directly outside the porch as Collins, his younger brother Cyprian and one of their friends stood outside, free-styling to music blasting from Cyprian car. The trio was ambushed in the dark by one or more shooters, who killed Collins on the spot and shot Cyprian in the arm before making a swift getaway, possibly in a car waiting nearby and Steps from the front stoop of the Kwarteng home in a quiet north Brampton suburb, the concrete walkway leading to the backyard is still stained with blood, even after months of snow and ice. Just after 10 p.m. on Nov. 10, 2014, Asare Bediako Kwarteng heard a pop, pop, pop he initially thought was fireworks. Moments later, he was holding the bloodied body of his 22-year-old son, Collins.
