00:03This program is rated 14-plus and contains scenes of violence and mature subject matter.
00:08Viewer discretion is advised.
00:12Seeing some of the footage, you know, I just remember thinking Peter was a strong man.
00:19And in the video footage, you see my husband just fall back and kneel over on his car.
00:26When do you learn that a second person had been shot?
00:30He goes up to his window, pulls the car door open, points the gun down to shoot him.
00:35He shot him in the leg.
00:36We believed that the suspect and that suspect vehicle were one and the same for the two investigations.
00:41I also found out that another person was robbed.
00:45For sure, this is an Ultima.
00:47Back at the location of the very first crime, they watched and waited, but the suspect took off.
00:59Welcome to Cry Beat. I'm Antony Robart.
01:02A birthday is a time, of course, for milestones and memories.
01:06But imagine a night meant for joy suddenly dissolves into a living nightmare.
01:11Tonight we look at how one celebration ended in tragedy.
01:16Here now is Catherine MacDonald with Please Don't Leave Me.
01:25I remember when we were coming out.
01:27I was kind of busy talking to somebody and then I remember the sound.
01:32Like I'm not a pro with any kind of weapons or how they sound or whatever, but for me it
01:37sounded like fireworks.
01:38You know, I remember particularly telling my friend, oh wow, not even summer yet.
01:41People are starting to light up fireworks and that's when I kind of went towards this car.
01:47I used the washroom when I came out and I saw another friend that I was just speaking to and
01:52telling her have a good night and stuff like that.
01:54I was just in the lobby of the front doors right here where I was standing and saying goodbye to
02:00a friend.
02:01And then I look outside and I saw the guy that Peter was with.
02:06He came running up to the security guard and that friend was panicked.
02:11He was like flailing his arms and stuff like that and pointing outside.
02:16And he looks over and he sees me inside.
02:17So he opens the door and he says to me, Annie, run.
02:21Peter just got shot.
02:22Run, hurry, run.
02:24I was like, what?
02:26Peter got shot?
02:27What do you mean?
02:28I followed him out right through these doors here and I just came around the corner right here, straight through.
02:36We ran around.
02:38I was running at this point, straight down these stairs.
02:41When I looked over, I saw a couple of people kind of stood over by the car.
02:47So I was like, what's going on there?
02:50And I'm thinking like a gunshot?
02:51Like things like that didn't happen there.
02:53So at the time, I thought maybe he was overreacting.
02:59And as I'm rounding the corner, I can see Peter on the ground.
03:03And it was right somewhere about here I just started screaming because I saw him right here.
03:11He was lying face flat, so his back was up and I remember seeing his t-shirt, it was all
03:16bloodied.
03:17As I run up to him, I start seeing the blood now and I start panicking.
03:27And I just ran right over to him and I leaned down and I just started screaming, no, no, no.
03:38I leaned next to him and all I could see was a pool of blood.
03:46And I look at him and I see that his shirt is soaked in blood.
03:52And then I just turned him around and I remember the first thing that I kept saying was, who did
03:57this, who did this?
03:58And he was actually holding on to Peter.
04:02He was kind of hugging him and where if he was shot, he was shot in his chest right here.
04:07And then I turned him around and I tried to kind of revive him.
04:13And he was kind of like trying to press on the wound to stop the bleeding.
04:17But when he turned him over, we could see that the gunshot wound went through, it passed through him.
04:25So when you press here, it's coming out from the other side.
04:29It was hard because he was bleeding so much from two different wounds.
04:36We didn't know where to stop it.
04:38He was trying to tell me something, but then I couldn't figure it out.
04:40You know, like I remember like holding on to him with my legs and I was kind of kneeling down.
04:45And I just remember holding on to one of his hands.
04:48He was fighting.
04:50He was fighting.
04:51We tried everything just to keep him conscious because I just...
04:58I was just fighting to keep him alive.
05:00With his t-shirt fully bloodied, I couldn't really tell if, you know, he had been shot or he had
05:05been stabbed.
05:06I just kept telling him to breathe, breathe, breathe.
05:10Peter Kahn's wife and friend were too focused on trying to save his life
05:14to even process the fact that the shooter could still be close by
05:18and on the hunt for their next victim.
05:21By this time, someone had called 911.
05:25The police showed up first.
05:26And when the police showed up, they basically cleared us out.
05:29They took over and they were waiting for the ambulance to come.
05:33When the police arrived, Peter was pretty much in my lap.
05:37I didn't feel comfortable leaving him just on the ground like that.
05:40But I had to respect the police officers.
05:44The police officer looks over into the crowd where I'm kneeling and says,
05:48is there anyone here named Annie?
05:50So I said, yes, that's me.
05:52That's me.
05:52I'm his wife.
05:53The police officer says, he's asking for you.
05:57So I go over and I lean next to him and he puts his hand out.
06:02So I hold his hand and he, because he's laying down, he lifts up a little bit to look at
06:10me
06:10and he's holding my hand.
06:12And he squeezes my hand and he looks me in the eye and he says to me,
06:22I love, I love, I love you.
06:26The words couldn't come out because by this time the blood was filling his lungs.
06:30So I just started screaming.
06:32I was like, I love you too, but please don't leave me.
06:34Please don't go.
06:35I can't live without you.
06:55Welcome back.
06:56Mahani Henry Khan's husband, Peter, is clinging to life after having been shot while out celebrating
07:03her birthday.
07:04And it turns out he wasn't the only one attacked that night.
07:09We return now to Catherine MacDonald and please don't leave me.
07:15When do you learn that a second person had been shot?
07:18So when we were trying to stop the bleeding before the police showed up,
07:22I remember somebody offered us a shirt to kind of soak up the blood because it was going everywhere.
07:29And I look over and I see this other guy there and he's holding his leg.
07:36It was at that moment I saw that that guy was also shot.
07:40Police were called to the parking lot for a double shooting.
07:43Officers arrived to find two men suffering from gunshot wounds.
07:46Police believe there is just one suspect who remains at large.
07:50Peter Khan was not the only person shot in that Scarborough parking lot.
07:54Only moments later, another man had also been fired at.
08:00He was shot in his car and then he drove around and came back out.
08:05It wasn't life-threatening.
08:07So he was still on scene right there witnessing us with Peter on the ground as well.
08:12Did anyone tell you that they saw anything?
08:15The guy that he was with, I think he was also in shock at the moment.
08:20He couldn't say anything.
08:21He wasn't saying anything.
08:23We didn't know anything about the scene at the moment.
08:26Or why.
08:26Or why.
08:27Or how even.
08:28And what about who did it?
08:29Did anyone say he looked like this or did you know anything about the suspect?
08:33No, absolutely nothing.
08:35So all you're thinking about is let's go to the hospital.
08:37Yeah.
08:38The moment they took him into the stretcher, I felt like a little bit relieved.
08:43Peter was, you know, alive and was fighting.
08:47The ambulance showed up and they took him.
08:50I was covered in his blood.
08:53I remember I looked down and I saw his blood on my hands and I just fainted.
08:59I woke up and the medical professionals were there and I said, where is Peter?
09:03They said the ambulance took him.
09:05I jumped up.
09:06I said, we got to go.
09:09When he went to the hospital, I felt that like, okay, he was going to be good.
09:15I felt like, okay, he's out of the hospital.
09:17You know, they're going to take good care of him.
09:18We went to Sunnybrook and I kept asking for updates.
09:21Like, is there anything?
09:23Is there anything?
09:23So all of our friends were starting to gather at the hospital now.
09:27Also at the hospital were relatives of the other shooting victim.
09:31I remember people were shouting at the other group.
09:34As soon as somebody had came and told me, hey, listen, like, I don't know why people are, like, shouting
09:39at us.
09:40You know, we're kind of like the victims ourselves.
09:42We have no clue what's going on.
09:44They just kept telling me to wait and wait and wait.
09:47The surgeon took us into a private room and I sit down and he said to me, we tried everything
09:54we could.
09:56But he didn't make it.
10:02And I just sat there screaming, no, no, no.
10:06Because I didn't want to accept that my husband, who I loved so much, was God.
10:19Why?
10:20Why?
10:23Like, this is a church.
10:26This is a church.
10:28This is a restaurant.
10:31That is tutoring classes.
10:34This is a safe area.
10:35This is an area that a lot of people come to.
10:38Peter and I came here all the time, all the time.
10:41We never had a reason to feel unsafe.
10:48I met Peter on Facebook.
10:50He's like, hey, what's up?
10:52And I clicked on his picture and I was like, oh, he's kind of handsome.
10:59We knew a lot of mutual friends and Peter was very well-known in the West Indian Guyanese community.
11:07His Facebook name at the time was G.T. Baba.
11:11So I actually didn't know his real name.
11:13So I asked him.
11:14I was like, what is your name?
11:16And he says, oh, my name is Peter.
11:22Peter and Mohani started dating and their bond grows.
11:26This is the first picture we ever took together.
11:30Four years later, with plans to get married, the couple buys a home in Ajax, Ontario, and they move in
11:36together.
11:37December of 2018, it was Christmas Day.
11:41He proposed to me in front of my family.
11:46They start planning their wedding for the spring of 2020, but COVID lockdowns would force them to wait until the
11:53end of 2021.
11:54It was always my dream to have a winter wedding.
11:57We ended up getting a huge snowstorm that day.
11:59Huge snowstorm.
12:01So he actually made a joke and he was like, you always get what you want.
12:07So we had a beautiful winter wedding.
12:10So this is the actual wedding right here.
12:12So you see where he's placing his hand over my heart.
12:15This is where we're exchanging vows.
12:18It was so blissful.
12:21And at the time, like, we were just starting our lives.
12:25So everything was just in place and it was perfect.
12:29How old were you at that point?
12:31Oh, I was 31.
12:34We were only married for six months, but it was the best six months of my life.
12:39And then you had a birthday coming up.
12:42Yeah, my first birthday as Mrs. Peter Kahn.
12:47Yeah.
12:48You want to tell me about that night, your birthday that year?
12:50My birthday was on the Wednesday, so we decided to go on the Friday.
12:55So we used to go to this place called Tropical Nights in Scarborough.
13:00It's a very popular place, especially among the West Indian community.
13:04I was getting dressed and he was laying on the sofa.
13:07So I said to him, I'm like, you know, if you don't really feel like going, I'm kind of like
13:11indecisive of what I want to wear too.
13:13Like, why don't we just cancel and stay home?
13:15And he's like, no, no, it's your birthday.
13:18Like, we have to go out.
13:21I did have a little bit of a feeling, like an anxious feeling, but I just chalked it up to
13:27I was in my 30s and I didn't want to get older.
13:31We got there, I would say around maybe 10.30, around that time.
13:37And we met up with a couple of other friends.
13:40I called him, hey, I'm here.
13:42And he told me I'm also there as well.
13:44And I remember we met at the parking lot and gave the props and things like that and then wishing
13:49Mohani happy birthday as well.
13:53We were ready to party.
13:55It started off as a great night.
13:58So we just had a couple of drinks, kept it social, you know, listened to some really good music.
14:03We danced and stuff like that.
14:06He was driving that night, so he didn't drink.
14:09It was just me, but I'm also not a heavy drinker.
14:13Around like 12.30, I remember I made a social media post on Instagram and it was Peter and I
14:19together and I posted,
14:21I'm feeling so blessed right now.
14:23Life is so perfect.
14:26And the night progressed and we were getting ready to leave.
14:32Before I last saw him was when I think the lights was kind of coming on and it's kind of
14:36could be the last dance or two.
14:38And like, so, you know, I was casually dancing with Mohani and some of our friends.
14:42And that was the last time I saw him.
14:47When we were leaving, it was a little cold outside and Peter, he smoked.
14:53One of his friends was there.
14:54He goes, we're going to go outside.
14:56We're going to have a smoke together and I'm going to start the car, warm it up.
14:59And when you're ready, come out.
15:02I stopped and I was like, you know what?
15:04You go.
15:05I'm going to use the bathroom and then I'll meet you outside.
15:08So I had another friend with me.
15:09So he looked to my friend and he said to her, he says, take care of my wife.
15:16And he kissed me on my forehead and he said, I love you and I'll see you soon.
15:33Welcome back.
15:35It's May 2022 and Mohani, Henry Khan's husband, Peter, was shot and killed while they were out celebrating her birthday.
15:43Investigators are now racing to identify the shooter before he strikes again.
15:50We return now to Catherine MacDonald and please don't leave me.
15:55When did you finally get to speak to police about, I'm sure you're wondering, you have all these questions.
16:00He was shot in the early morning at around 3 a.m. on Saturday, May the 7th.
16:05So this is still now Saturday midday on May the 7th.
16:09And we went to the police station and that now is the first time that I'm going to speak to
16:13the police and understand what's happening.
16:17I asked them, why?
16:20And they said, well, we also don't know.
16:23So that's what we're going to figure out.
16:27Mohani would learn that everything was caught on camera.
16:30And at that point they told me that it was a robbery and he was shot and killed because of
16:37the chain that he was wearing.
16:40It wasn't anything that was, like, really big or, like, blinged out with, like, big diamonds.
16:46It wasn't anything fancy.
16:48It was a simple chain.
16:48So when they said it was a robbery over his chain, it didn't make sense.
16:56Seeing some of the footage, you know, I just remember thinking Peter was a strong man.
17:02He particularly, you know, didn't want to give up the chain.
17:06It meant a lot to him.
17:07The other side of me also thinks that, like, you know, he could have just given up the chain and
17:11saved his life in a way.
17:13That chain, actually, I had gifted to him during our wedding ceremony.
17:16So in our culture, it's customary that we give gold jewelry.
17:21My mom gave him a chain and I also gave him a chain.
17:24And that exact chain that I gave him was the one that he was wearing that night.
17:29And I saw this video.
17:31You know, my husband did what any normal human being would do.
17:34Somebody invades your personal space.
17:35He pulled back and kind of just pushed him away.
17:39And because when he pushed him away now, he just pulled out the gun and just fired.
17:50And in the video footage, you see my husband just fall back and kneel over on his car.
18:00With no idea whether or not the suspect was planning on targeting other late night party goers in the area,
18:06police were moving fast to try and make an identification.
18:23Police have released images of a suspect they believe is responsible for a deadly shooting in Scarborough over the weekend.
18:29This is the person police would like to speak with about the shooting at a plaza near Morningside and Shepard
18:35on Saturday.
18:37A suspect vehicle was also identified as a white Nissan sedan.
18:42Not only were both shootings caught on video, so too was the suspect's arrival just before 3 a.m.,
18:50just as Peter Kahn was exiting tropical nights.
18:54From what I know, the suspect came here first, parked down there, came up these stairs, right around here,
19:03and then he walked straight down.
19:05There was people smoking here outside because this is the general area where everybody comes out and they smoke.
19:13So he came here, looked around, a little shifty, stopped, looked back a little bit, and then he went back
19:21down to get his vehicle that was parked down at the bottom.
19:26Once he got his vehicle, he came around this corner here from the bottom parking lot, drove around this way,
19:35went up this ramp here, and there's a dumpster just in the corner behind the trees.
19:42He stopped the vehicle right there, exited the vehicle, came down this ramp, walked down all the way here,
19:53and then this is where he approached Peter.
19:57Peter was shot at 3 a.m., and then the video shows the suspect approaching a Honda idling nearby.
20:06While you were in the interview with the police, the other fellow that was shot, did you ask about him?
20:11At that point, I asked them, I said, was he robbed? And they said yes.
20:17As soon as he finished shooting my husband, came back around here, went up this little hill.
20:25The other person was parked in the parking lot there about three spaces down.
20:30The security footage shows the suspect walking through the parking lot, away from where Peter Kahn lies dying.
20:37The suspect heads towards a row of vehicles.
20:41He doubles back and approaches a dark-colored car.
20:44The man inside that vehicle was Daunte Rupchand.
20:49You've learned that he was shot over a gold chain.
20:53He goes up to his window, pulls the car door open, snatches the guy's chain, points the gun down to
20:59shoot him,
21:00but at the same moment, that guy was getting up.
21:03So the trajectory ended up being that he shot him in the leg.
21:07People were saying that if he didn't get up or move in that moment, it could have potentially been even
21:12worse.
21:14Then he jumped back into the car, sped around, and exited that way.
21:21Two men were robbed.
21:22Two men.
21:23Actually, I also found out that another person was robbed prior to Peter at a different location.
21:30They told you that?
21:31Yeah, so they said that the motive was robbery throughout this whole, I would say, crime spree.
21:37And your husband was the second victim?
21:39Yes.
21:40And that earlier incident, outside a nearby pizza place, would turn out to be a critical piece of the puzzle
21:47for investigators.
21:49When we compared the images of the suspect vehicle, as well as the suspect, from our homicide,
21:54to the images in suspect vehicle from the robbery in 41 Division at Kennedy and Ellesmere that happened earlier that
22:01morning,
22:01we believed that the suspect and that suspect vehicle were one and the same for the two investigations.
22:07At 1.11 a.m. on Saturday, May the 7th, as Mohani and Peter were enjoying their time at Tropical
22:14Nights,
22:15less than 10 kilometers away, a man named Vernon Facey had just bought a pizza
22:19and was waiting outside for an Uber with his girlfriend.
22:23Vernon would testify that a man wearing a black, shiny winter jacket and light blue jeans grabbed his gold chain
22:30from behind.
22:31He said he felt someone tug on the back of his chain, and then he realized his attacker had a
22:36gun.
22:37Quote,
22:38After that, he said,
22:40Take the rings off.
22:42When he resisted, Vernon said the suspect threatened to kill him.
22:46Quote,
22:47He said to me,
22:47Take them off.
22:48I swear to God I will kill you.
22:50Then he pushed the gun to my stomach.
22:54Vernon said the suspect then showed him the ammunition inside the gun
22:57before making off with his chain, rings, and a bracelet.
23:02When investigators saw the CCTV footage,
23:05the scenario looked eerily similar to the two incidents at Tropical Nights.
23:10Similar looking suspect and similar looking vehicle.
23:13It was a very distinct vehicle because it was a white Nissan and the driver's side mirror cap on that
23:23side of the mirror was missing.
23:25So it was black.
23:27So the whole car was white, but the one side, the driver's side mirror, was black.
23:33So it was a very distinct vehicle in that sense.
23:37And that's when she had told me that they had put out a bulletin amongst the police
23:42that this vehicle is of interest in the homicide.
23:46And there was a police officer that was doing his rounds in Scarborough on Sunday.
23:52And he noticed that exact vehicle with the cap missing, it being black, at a plaza.
24:00For sure this is an Ultima, as you can see.
24:03And a very keen-eyed officer from 41 Division's crew located our suspect vehicle,
24:09parked in the parking lot at Kennedy and Ellesmere,
24:12just down the way from where the first robbery occurred.
24:14No front plate, as you can see.
24:16And maybe either choose her Wednesday.
24:18She said that they were going to release a press release
24:21and they were going to let us know who did it.
24:24I couldn't believe it. I said, are you sure?
24:26She said, yeah, we have a pretty good idea that this is the person.
24:42What's up, my brother? Good to see you.
24:44You too.
24:49First thing that comes to mind when you think of him is?
24:52Absolute beauty, man.
24:53Love?
24:54Yeah, happiness. Always happy.
24:57Smiling, yeah.
24:59Do you miss him?
25:00Every day. Every day.
25:03Devon Persaud had known Peter since elementary school.
25:06When he came out from Guyana, yeah, I was one of the first friends that he made there.
25:10And Wade Del Grande met Peter working at the grocery store.
25:14No frills.
25:15He started as my manager.
25:17No frills.
25:18No frills.
25:18Back in the day, yeah.
25:19Probably, you know, 20 years ago.
25:21Look at his smile, man.
25:22One thing he loved, DJing, you know, he was working on that.
25:27And then he'd have his little table, he'd have his DJ stuff set up.
25:29The one and only, GT Baba.
25:31Oh, yeah.
25:32The GT is short form for Georgetown.
25:36And Baba is kind of a term of endearment that most family members use for young kids.
25:43It could also kind of mean what we call a sweet bike.
25:47I still haven't deleted his number out of my phone.
25:49No.
25:50It's still there.
25:50And, you know, it's even weird because when we go and tag him on something on Instagram,
25:55we still tag him.
25:56Yeah.
25:57My brother.
26:03By Sunday, May 8th, police were certain they had identified the shooter
26:07and that they had enough evidence to link him to all three incidents.
26:14They had spent the weekend piecing together CCTV footage,
26:18tracking the suspect as he allegedly traveled to and from the Domino's Pizza on Kennedy Road
26:24to a residence on Rowena Drive and then to Tropical Nights.
26:27So when an officer spotted a white Nissan Altima matching the suspect description vehicle,
26:34For sure, this is an Altima, as you can see.
26:37back at the location of the very first crime,
26:40they watched and waited
26:42and then moved in to make the arrest.
26:45But the suspect took off.
26:49Yeah.
26:58And police allege he tried to hide the car keys as he was trying to escape.
27:30We all gathered at his mom's house, family and friends.
27:34We sat and we put on the news and we were waiting for the news release.
27:39And I remember I sat on the sofa in complete silence and we were listening.
27:45And they were talking about the case and they showed Peter's picture
27:49and they said that they've arrested someone.
27:52And that's the first time that I saw his face.
27:57Javon Waldron.
28:00This was a very, very tragic incident,
28:03a senseless act of violence where Mr. Khan lost his life
28:06and two people were robbed and victimized here in our city.
28:09Over a few pieces of jewelry,
28:11a man is now facing several charges,
28:1327-year-old Javon Waldron was arrested on Sunday
28:16in connection with several robberies
28:18and a shooting that left 36-year-old Oscar Peter Khan of Ajax dead.
28:24And the first thing I thought in my mind, I said,
28:27do I know him?
28:29Have I ever seen him anywhere?
28:33Acquaintance?
28:34Could this be a friendship, something gone wrong?
28:37Like, but no.
28:39We had nothing to do with it.
28:41We didn't know him in any shape or form.
28:44Police say Waldron approached Khan in a Scarborough parking lot
28:47near Morningside Avenue and Shepherd Avenue East
28:49on Saturday morning around 3 a.m.
28:52He then allegedly reached for and ripped a chain off of Khan's neck,
28:55holding him at gunpoint before shooting him.
28:58How much was that worth, that chain?
29:01About $350.
29:03He lost his life for $350?
29:05Yeah.
29:06That's what that person valued his life at, $350.
29:14To track the suspect's movements the night of the crime spree,
29:18police also needed phone records to try to place him at the scenes.
29:23So Javon Waldron was not far from where he allegedly shot and killed Peter?
29:29No.
29:31It was all within less than a week of everything.
29:34So imagine processing that he died
29:37and then processing that they found the person
29:40and then seeing this person's photo just three or four days later.
29:45And at this point, he's just a suspect.
29:47He's only been charged with second degree?
29:49Second degree.
29:49So you had to wait three years for justice?
29:54Yes.
29:54To see justice done?
29:56Yes.
29:56What did you find out when you went to the trial?
29:59The trial was October and November of 2024.
30:05Still a lot of things were unanswered.
30:07Peter Khan's wife came to court on the opening day
30:10of the second degree murder and attempted murder trial for Javon Waldron.
30:13So I went to court from the first day, jury selection,
30:18all the way through to the end.
30:21The Crown told the jury the suspect,
30:23who was captured on video surveillance
30:25wearing a black puffy jacket and light pants,
30:27arrived and fled in a white Nissan Altima
30:29with distinctive features.
30:32Javon Waldron pleaded not guilty.
30:34The defense argued that the man seen in the videos was not him.
30:38This man, the first witness for the Crown,
30:40testified that less than two hours before the fatal shooting,
30:43he too was robbed of his jewelry.
30:47Defense called into question the memory of some of the eyewitnesses,
30:51flagging, quote,
30:53inconsistencies about the height and weight of the assailant.
30:57That friend testified Monday, quote,
30:59right then and there,
31:00the individual pulled out his gun and shot Peter, he said.
31:03Khan died of a gunshot wound to the chest.
31:05This man, Dante Rupchand,
31:07who does not want to appear on camera, also testified.
31:10Rupchand testified after being shot,
31:12the suspect walked away and he drove off.
31:15Defense pointed out there wasn't any, quote,
31:18uninterrupted surveillance of that vehicle, end quote.
31:21That someone else may have entered the car
31:23or exited undetected.
31:25And they questioned whether the phone number connected to Waldron
31:28was in fact his,
31:30since his actual phone was never recovered.
31:33It's nerve wracking, scary, a little bit daunting.
31:38Mohani Henry Khan has spent the last three days
31:40at the Superior Courthouse,
31:41watching the trial for Jovan Waldron.
31:45We also saw video.
31:47Yes.
31:47What was that like to have to watch?
31:49I actually had to leave the courtroom
31:51the first time they showed it
31:52because I saw my husband's last moments.
31:57Because from when he kissed my forehead
31:59and he went outside,
32:00that's the last that I saw of him
32:02until I went outside.
32:03But the last moments of him
32:05laughing and joking with his friend,
32:07walking outside,
32:09going to the car,
32:10standing there.
32:11You had his chain.
32:12You snatched it.
32:13You had it.
32:14You pulled out the gun.
32:15Why did you need to pull that trigger?
32:18You remember the footage from the first victim.
32:21He robbed him at gunpoint.
32:24He had the gun.
32:25He didn't shoot him.
32:27So why shoot my husband?
32:28Did you ever get to hear from him?
32:30No.
32:31He never spoke.
32:32He never testified on his own behalf.
32:34He never addressed the court, ever.
32:40But even though the accused
32:41never told his own story,
32:44Mohani would come to learn
32:45a lot more about him.
32:47160 kilometers an hour on Kingston Road.
32:49160 on Kingston Road.
33:04Welcome back.
33:06Javon Waldron was on trial,
33:08charged with the second-degree murder
33:09of Peter Kahn
33:10and the robbery and aggravated assault
33:13of Dante Rupchand.
33:14He had pleaded not guilty.
33:16But this wasn't his first brush with the law.
33:21We now return to Catherine MacDonald
33:23and the conclusion of
33:25Please Don't Leave Me.
33:30Javon Waldron has been arrested
33:32and every single time
33:34he was let back out.
33:38Unbeknownst to the jury
33:39was the fact that Javon Waldron
33:41had a criminal record,
33:42including a conviction for possession
33:44of an unauthorized firearm.
33:46And in 2019,
33:48convictions for dangerous operation
33:50of a motor vehicle
33:51and possession
33:52for the purpose of trafficking.
33:54He was on the news
33:56for a high-speed police chase
33:59in Durham region.
34:01And I specifically remember this
34:03because Peter and I were watching that
34:04on the TV, on the news.
34:07160 kilometers an hour
34:08on Kingston Road.
34:10160 on Kingston Road.
34:11A Pickering man
34:12facing multiple charges
34:13after running away
34:14from a traffic stop.
34:16Durham police say
34:16the officers tried
34:17to stop the suspect
34:18shortly after midnight
34:19near Harmony Road in Oshawa.
34:21And I said,
34:22oh my God, this guy is crazy.
34:23Not knowing that
34:26a year or two later,
34:27that same person
34:28that was on the news
34:29for the high-speed police chase
34:30would then kill my husband.
34:32But that's not all
34:34Mohani would learn
34:35about the accused.
34:36The Crown told the jury
34:37after Waldron's arrest
34:39the canine unit
34:40was brought in
34:40and retraced his steps
34:42when he was fleeing.
34:44They found a key fob
34:45to a Nissan motor vehicle
34:46and returned to the car
34:48believed to be
34:48the suspect vehicle
34:49and the key fob
34:50opened the vehicle.
34:52It was registered
34:52to Javon Waldron's
34:54late brother.
34:55At the sentencing hearing,
34:57court heard that
34:57Waldron had three brothers.
34:59One died during COVID
35:00and another was murdered
35:02when Waldron was only 14.
35:04Javon Waldron,
35:05his brother was shot and killed.
35:10Waldron witnessed that shooting
35:12and his brother died in his arms.
35:15The irony.
35:17So if you're a product
35:18of your environment
35:19and this happened to you
35:20by logic,
35:21then that means
35:21I should also hurt someone
35:24or hurt somebody else.
35:25No, that's not right.
35:28When the trial came to an end,
35:30Peter's family waited anxiously
35:32for the jury to make its decision.
35:34Actually, the night
35:36that they were deliberating,
35:37they came back with a question.
35:38The question was
35:40something along the lines of
35:41if shooting a man
35:44close range in his chest,
35:46if that is not a determining factor
35:49of a murder to charge.
35:52So it seemed like
35:53they were looking for clarification
35:55of a second degree murder charge.
35:58An intent.
35:58An intent.
35:59Correct.
36:00Yeah.
36:01Soon after,
36:02the jury returned
36:03with its verdict.
36:05And we were sitting there
36:08and the silence was deafening.
36:11You could hear not even a pin,
36:13like anything.
36:14It was so silent in that courtroom.
36:17And the foreman for the jury gets up
36:20and the judge asks them
36:23on the murder charge,
36:25how did they find him?
36:27Guilty.
36:28And I just dropped down
36:31and burst into tears
36:33and they were tears of joy,
36:37but tears of sorrow as well.
36:40A Toronto man who stole gold chains
36:43from two strangers
36:44before shooting them both
36:45outside a Scarborough nightclub
36:47has been found guilty
36:48of second degree murder,
36:49aggravated assault,
36:50as well as robbery.
36:52Justice has been served here today
36:54for Peter.
36:55He didn't have to kill my husband.
36:57That was a choice that he made.
37:00And I'm glad that
37:01I get justice for my husband
37:04because he didn't have a choice
37:07in all of this.
37:11It sucks and it hurts
37:13because he shouldn't have been out
37:16to murder my husband.
37:18He wasn't supposed to have a weapon.
37:20He was out on probation.
37:22And I feel like maybe
37:25if the right thing was done
37:26and he was behind bars,
37:29we wouldn't be filming this year today.
37:31It's just not fair.
37:33It's not fair.
37:36He took $350 worth of a chain,
37:39shot him,
37:40and left him here to die
37:42like he was nothing.
37:45But he wasn't nothing.
37:48He was my everything.
37:55And I hate him for that.
37:58I'll never forgive him.
38:03In November,
38:04a jury found Waldron guilty
38:06of second-degree murder,
38:07aggravated assault,
38:08and robbery with a weapon.
38:09And he will be sentenced
38:10to life in prison.
38:11The issue the judge must decide
38:13is a parole ineligibility period
38:15between 10 and 25 years.
38:17The Crown is asking
38:18for 20 to 25 years.
38:20The defense is suggesting
38:22a more appropriate period
38:23of parole ineligibility
38:24would be 12 to 15 years.
38:27The defense was trying to say
38:29that he was a product
38:31of his environment.
38:32I guess being a person of color,
38:34where he lived,
38:36being raised by a single mom.
38:38But that is the furthest thing
38:40from the truth
38:40because Peter and I
38:42were also people of color.
38:44Peter and myself,
38:46we were not raised
38:46in the greatest neighborhoods,
38:49and we were both raised
38:50by single mothers.
38:51If somebody had a troubled past,
38:53then I would assume
38:53that they would want
38:54their future to be good.
38:57Sometimes it's not easy
38:58to kind of go through,
39:01you know, the memories
39:02and the flashbacks
39:03of what had happened to you.
39:05But I always feel like
39:06sometimes the best way
39:07to let go of a past
39:09is to actually create
39:10a good future.
39:11That argument of being
39:12a product of your environment,
39:14it's an excuse.
39:16Something has to be done.
39:18My personal opinion on it
39:19is right now that
39:20the punishments
39:21no longer fit the crime.
39:23people are just committing crimes
39:25because they know
39:26that the punishment
39:28is lenient.
39:29It has been almost three years
39:30and I do not celebrate
39:31my birthday.
39:33Your Honor,
39:34how can I celebrate my life
39:36when it resulted
39:37in my husband's death?
39:39I remember in your victim impact,
39:41you said that you could never
39:42celebrate your birthday again.
39:45Is that still the case?
39:46Yes, Catherine.
39:48I don't celebrate my birthday
39:50because I feel like
39:52it was my fault
39:53that, you know,
39:55basically,
39:56the day I was born
39:58was the day
39:59he was sentenced to death.
40:01Like, I feel
40:02if I celebrate my birthday,
40:03I'm celebrating me
40:04coming into this world
40:05and him leaving.
40:06My husband and I
40:06did nothing wrong.
40:07He was a construction worker.
40:09He worked for everything he had.
40:11He didn't deserve
40:12to have his life
40:12snatched from him
40:13for this reason.
40:17Near the end
40:18of March 2025,
40:19almost three years
40:21after Peter Kahn's murder,
40:23Javon Waldron
40:24was sentenced
40:24to life in prison
40:25with a parole
40:26ineligibility period
40:27of 18 years.
40:30All of a sudden,
40:30one day,
40:33you wake up
40:34and they're not there anymore.
40:36Now we have
40:38just memories
40:39and pictures.
40:43I'm sorry, man.
40:49like, I keep thinking
40:50I'm over it, right?
40:53I keep thinking
40:54I've come to terms
40:55with everything
40:56that's happened.
40:58But then, you know,
41:00when we do his birthday,
41:02things like this,
41:03it kind of reminds me
41:04that there's still
41:05a part of me
41:05that hasn't healed yet
41:07and I don't know
41:08if it ever will.
41:18I'm sorry.
41:36I'm sorry.
41:39It wasn't his face.
41:40It would just be
41:41a kind of mumbling
41:42voices that I heard
41:43when I was trying
41:44to revive him.
41:45I would like to know
41:47what Peter was trying
41:48to tell me that night.
41:50I think that's one thing
41:51that stayed with me.
41:52I do often think about him.
41:55His greatest asset
41:56was keeping people together.
41:58He would want us
41:58to love each other.
42:00I went through
42:01a very hard point
42:03in my life
42:04in 2023 of April.
42:06I had a successful
42:07suicide attempt
42:09in which
42:10I did actually
42:12die for six seconds
42:15and
42:16the paramedics
42:17on scene
42:18were able to,
42:20of course,
42:21perform life-shaving measures
42:22and bring me back.
42:24But in that moment,
42:25I decided,
42:25I said,
42:26okay,
42:26I can't go on like this.
42:28Peter wouldn't want this
42:29for me,
42:30so I have to do better.
42:32And that was when
42:33I decided that
42:36I will honour him,
42:37I will love him,
42:38and I will move forward
42:40with his memories.
42:43I received my wedding videos
42:47about two days
42:48before Peter passed away,
42:49so he never got to see them.
42:52We had made a plan
42:53that on Sunday
42:54we were going to come
42:54to my mom's house
42:55and have dinner
42:56and celebrate my birthday
42:57with my family
42:58and we were going
42:58to all watch
42:59the videos together
43:01and unfortunately
43:02he didn't get to see it.
43:03So the first time
43:04the wedding video
43:05was played
43:06for anyone to see
43:08was at his funeral.
43:10I ache for that love
43:12because I don't have him anymore.
43:15I wear my wedding ring
43:16every single day
43:17and this is also
43:18Peter's wedding ring.
43:21This,
43:21it's called a Mangal Sutra.
43:22This is gifted to me
43:23by Peter
43:24on our wedding day.
43:25It basically signifies
43:27the union between
43:28a husband and a wife.
43:29He got mine done
43:30in infinity.
43:31Traditionally,
43:32it's not to have a clasp.
43:34So the chain
43:35is all the way around.
43:37So when you get married,
43:39your union has no end.
43:42That scene of Peter
43:44saying I love you
43:44in that moment,
43:45it never leaves me.
43:48Prior to getting married,
43:50like it was always
43:50my lifelong aspiration
43:51to go to law school
43:52and become a lawyer.
43:53And in 2024,
43:54I decided to chase my dreams.
43:57And I will be trying
44:00to see if I can get accepted
44:02in September.
44:03In law school?
44:03Yes.
44:05I do it in honor of him.
44:07He's my inspiration.
44:13At sentencing,
44:14the judge said,
44:16the murder of Peter Kahn
44:18and the robbery
44:18and shooting
44:19of Dante Rupchand
44:20were entirely unprovoked.
44:23There's no hint
44:24of self-defense
44:24or provocation
44:26in either crime.
44:27Javon Waldron
44:29is appealing
44:29those convictions.
44:31His appeal
44:31is based on the argument
44:32that the judge
44:33improperly cautioned
44:35the jury
44:35about a witness's testimony
44:37and a claim
44:38that a witness
44:39for the Crown lied.
44:41In addition,
44:42Waldron was convicted
44:43of robbery
44:43in relation
44:44to the first
44:45Domino's Pizza incident
44:46and given a 10-year
44:48concurrent sentence.

44:52a mental health crisis,
