The 33-year-old Ibrahim was gunned down in a downtown Montreal square around 12:45 a.m. Tuesday. In 2009, Valentine pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 12 years in the 2005 shootout in downtown Toronto between rival gangs that killed 15-year-old Jane Creba. In its decision granting parole, the Parole Board of Canada says an August 2021 psychological assessment of Valentine indicated he had the highest level of risk — a 76 per cent chance of recidivism over a period of five years after release. However, the parole board says he made 'observable and measurable' change in prison, adding that his release will 'contribute to the protection of society.'

Toronto's 2005 Boxing Day gunman faces 1st-degree murder charge in Montreal
Jeremiah Valentine, who went to prison for taking part in the 2005 Boxing Day shootout in Toronto that killed a 15-year-old girl, has been charged with murder in Montreal. The 43-year-old faces one count of first-degree murder in the killing of Abdeck Kenedith Ibrahim, 33, who was gunned down in a downtown Montreal square around 12:45 a.m. Tuesday. Valentine was among several people convicted in the 2005 shootout in downtown Toronto between rival gangs that killed 15-year-old Jane Creba and injured six others. Creba was shopping with her mother and sister on Yonge Street, traditionally one of Toronto's busiest strips for Boxing Day bargain hunters, when she was caught in the crossfire.

Valentine would have had to wait much longer than 12 years for parole eligibility if he hadn't pleaded guilty, Ontario Superior Court Justice John McMahon said at the time. The Crown says the Montreal case was put off until Oct. 23, following a brief hearing at the city's courthouse on Thursday. According to the charging document, Valentine was living in downtown Montreal.
