Devon Brumble was more or less where he was supposed to be. In the end, that didn’t save him. The 31-year-old who was fatally shot at a North York parking garage last Thursday had been under house arrest. He was awaiting a court appearance on drug charges in Fort Frances — a Northern Ontario town on the border of Minnesota, some 1,700 kilometres away. A court had ordered that he stay at the home of one of his sureties — a condo building on Bogert Avenue that has a parking garage.
