Dante Andreatta , 12 , was killed by a stray bullet while walking on Jane Street near Finch Avenue West on Nov. 7, 2020 .

The jury also found Rashawn Chambers , Jahwayne Smart and Cjay Hobbs guilty of five counts of attempted murder in relation to five occupants of a Honda Accord who were being shot at that day .

The fatal shooting shocked the city at the time because it involved an innocent child who was walking home from a McDonald ’s restaurant with his mother.

Hobbs ' lawyer Craig Zee said his client should be acquitted of all charges.

Zee called the Crown ’s theory that it was planned “purely speculative,” and because the accused did not know the occupants of the Honda , there was no reason to target anyone involved.

Smart 's manslaughter conviction was excluded after the defence successfully argued on a Corbett application.
