SMOKE DAWG

Smoke Dawg — real name Jahvante Smart — was killed in a brazen daylight shootout in Toronto’s Entertainment District on June 30, 2018.

Triggermen squeezed off multiple shots before fleeing in a black SUV with tinted windows. Also killed in the gunplay was Prime Boys manager Koba Prime, 28.

Rapper 21Neat — real name Abdulkadir Handule — was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder. He is serving a life sentence.

The shootout cost Barnes his life and Smart the use of his left eye.

Smart, 27, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm while under prohibition and was sentenced to the equivalent of two years, considering his pre-trial custody, said Mr. Justice David Watt.

“He is disentitled to leniency … he has a cavalier attitude towards the courts and the law-enforcement community,” said Watt, as he rejected Robbins’ bid for a one-day sentence on top of time served.

“There is no evidence he fired the fatal shot. He had a handgun in plain defiance of a weapon prohibition and prior convictions for weapons offences,” Watt said.

Smart was confronted by Barnes and other men when the gunfight erupted. After being shot in the basement laundry room, Smart staggered north to Liverpool St., west to Castleton Ave., south to St. Clair Ave., where he collapsed in a gas station parking lot.

Along the way, he concealed the handgun in a laneway.
