Hundreds of members of Toronto's Somalian community converged on a north-end home Saturday to mourn the city's latest shooting victim.

The Toronto Sun reports 18-year-old Abdikarim Abdul Abdikarim - known as Kareem to friends - was the son of Somalian pro soccer star Ahmed Abdikarim. Family friend Abdi Warsame told the newspaper Kareem had never been in trouble with the law.

Warsame said the elder Abdikarim, known by his nickname Antar, "is to soccer fans in Somalia what Gretzky is to hockey fans here in Canada." He now drives a taxi in Toronto, Warsame added.

Abdikarim died of a gunshot to the head, while five other men in their 20s were also wounded at a housing complex in the violence-plagued Lawrence Heights neighbourhood Friday night.

Three remain in hospital but are expected to survive, while the other two have been released from hospital.

The newspaper reports surveillance video shows two men approached the six victims, when one pulled a gun without warning and opened fire. Police are still looking for the shooter.
