It was his birthday and they’d already polished off all the Hennessy.
Sitting in the back seat of a black SUV, his friend — well, his “goon” — and aspiring rap artist at the wheel, when the vehicle turned into an alley
behind Scarlett Woods. Williams noted a couple of young men, leaning up against their car, minding their own business. “I can only guess they were listening to music. That’s what I would have been doing.”
Cruised to the parking lot at the end of the lane, made a three-point turn, then drove back the way they’d come.
Suddenly, Williams’ companion Mark Moore has whipped out a gun and is firing out the window.
“He empties a clip, like 12 shots, killing both the individuals,” Williams testified in court Tuesday.
And Williams, a/k/a Mayhem Morearty, cracked up.
“To be honest with you, I laughed hysterically, like I was demonically possessed. I never laughed like that before in my life.”
So funny. Two guys neither Williams nor Moore — nor a third man in the SUV — had ever set eyes on before, bleeding out on the ground.
“(Moore) said something like, ‘the angel of death made me do it.’ ” (In 2001, Moore had himself been shot in the face in the stairwell of a nearby apartment complex.)
Anyway, they drove off up Weston Rd., passing a police car with siren blaring, before getting on the 401 and returning to their own ’hood in Scarborough.
The victims were
Courthney Facey and Mike James, aged 18 and 23.
Two weeks earlier, court has heard, Moore allegedly blew away another stranger, in another laneway, father of two Jahmeel Spence. Less than two months later, it was Carl Cole who was gunned down in a hail of bullets behind a highrise apartment building on Greenbrae Circuit in Scarborough.
Williams witnessed none of those killings. But he heard tell of them — from Moore.
Late on the night of Sept. 10, 2012 — around an hour after Spence had been slain — Williams received a text from Moore: “busy terrorizeing the borrows watch cp.”
He translates for Crown attorney Sean Hickey: “The text explains it. He was terrorizing the boroughs.” Watch CityPulse News.
