Murder of TSN employees: Two men were found guilty

Two men were found guilty of second-degree murder in connection with the deadly shooting of a TSN employee four years ago.

A jury handed down the verdict to Samir Adem and Salman Ahmed, both 18 at the time of the shooting on Wednesday morning.

On December 12, 2018, police found that a vehicle had gone off the road and hit a tree near Islington Avenue and St. Andrews Boulevard.

Inside, police found 29-year-old Jonathan Gale-West with gunshot wounds. He died on the spot.

The following February, police detained two men. Gail-West’s family then said they did not recognize the names of the accused.

Gail-West was a story editor at TSN and worked on Jay and Dan, BarDown, and TSN 1050. Friends and colleagues remembered him as ambitious, kind, and someone to whom others gravitated.

During the incident, Gail-West’s colleagues said he was about to audition for a role on the sports network.

Adem and Ahmed are due to appear in court on May 20 at 361 University Avenue.
