A man was shot and killed on Monday night (9/12/02) at a filming location for a video clip for Hip Hop artist Sean Paul.
The video shoot was taking place in Vaughn, in the Toronto-area, for Sean Paul's new single "Get Busy". Shots were fired outside a house which was being used in the video and a man, named as 21-year-old Ramesh Christie, was shot in the abdomen at 8.30 pm. He was later pronounced dead at Etobicoke General Hospital.
"I was deeply saddened to hear that a shooting occurred last night in the vicinity of my video shoot," Sean Paul said in a press statement.
"Although I did not witness the incident, my sympathy and prayers go out to the victim's family and to those who have been affected by this tragedy. We must overcome violence and hatred. All life is precious. Respect."
The victim and his killers were said to have been extras for the video shoot, not affiliated with the crew or with Sean Paul.
