.Although admired by his co-workers for his charisma and adored by his friends and family for his comedy, Darcy Allan Sheppard had a darker side.
The night he was killed in a collision that is alleged to have involved former Ontario attorney-general Michael Bryant, the 33-year-old bike messenger was in a confrontation with police, and 61 warrants for his arrest were outstanding in Alberta.
His family, co-workers and friends were in shock yesterday, and his adoptive father, who had just returned to Alberta after a visit, was on his way back to Toronto.
"He taught me everything I know," said Mr. Sheppard's half-brother, David Roy Sheppard. "I'm really going to miss him."
Neighbours at Mr. Sheppard's girlfriend's apartment on George Street described a different side of the handsome young courier. They said he drank often and would have loud parties with his cyclist friends.
Annette Wabie, who lives in the apartment below, said she often had to ask him to keep the noise down.
"He goes, well, you're going to have to get used to it. It's my lifestyle, we're bikers," she said.
On Monday evening, shortly before he was killed, Mr. Sheppard had been drinking, and police were called to his girlfriend's apartment, according to neighbours and police.
Landlord Peter Veljkvoic said Mr. Sheppard moved into the apartment with his girlfriend, Misty Bailey, in May. He said the couple were exemplary tenants until a few months ago, about the same time that Mr. Sheppard moved out. Some co-workers said the couple had broken up.
Toronto police said that Mr. Sheppard did not have a criminal record in Ontario, but Edmonton police said Alberta had 61 outstanding warrants for his arrest.
现场惊心动魄,还是等法庭裁决吧。
不过楼上“法官”说得也极不公正,过于自私的想法。尽管我不骑车,但是我认为骑车人也有权力使用公共道路。这不是什么左翼右翼的问题(但愿政客不会像“法官”一样)。关键是骑车人应该和开车人一样,也有责任遵守规则,维护道路安全。
oh yeah, bikers need a dedicated lane, so, all bikes need plates like cars, and pay tax for them, then gov can get money for the lane. otherwise, who is going to pay more tax for that damn lane? you or me? I never ride a bike here....
er eh...
