New Arrest Made In Jane Creba Murder

Update, Nov. 22, 2023: Names of those charged with anything other than murder or manslaughter have been removed from this article.

That’s not the case anymore, after Toronto Police arrested the 24-year-old for one of the most notorious killings in recent G.T.A. history.

Valentine is facing second degree murder charges in the Boxing Day shooting of 15-year-old Jane Creba. The well liked Grade 10 Riverdale Collegiate student was gunned down when an apparent gang war broke out as she was shopping with her family along the Yonge St. strip in 2005.

Six other people were wounded in the crossfire, bringing a bitter end to Toronto’s terrible year of the gun.

The Creba manhunt was one of the largest in recent Toronto history, with Chief Bill Blair vowing to bring everyone responsible to justice.

In all, a dozen people   — including 3 youths — are facing charges of murder or   manslaughter in the case.

A total of 25 people are accused of a wide variety of other offences, mostly relating to drugs and trafficking in firearms.

Cops will only say they received ‘information’ that led them to their latest murder suspect, but they haven’t explained what took so long to bring him in.

The newest accused isn’t unknown to police.

Valentine has a lengthy criminal record that involves guns, drugs and violence. Previous charges against him include possession of restricted firearms, trafficking in cocaine, and multiple robberies.

And as the case slowly approaches its grim one year anniversary, authorities insist they haven’t stopped searching for all the gang members involved in the outrageous crime.

“We are filtering through new information that is coming in, and as the investigation goes on, we will continue to do more arrests,” vows P.C. Victor Kwong.

Valentine will make his first court appearance on the charges Thursday.
