A tearful Joanne Wilson was one of the last persons to see "quiet and well-liked" murder victim Jarvis St. Remy alive last Friday.
"I heard a bang and I ran outside to see Jarvis lying in a pool of blood," Wilson said yesterday. "I wasn't sure if he was alive or not."
St. Remy's mom, Clemee Joseph, and about 50 friends and family members gathered at a bus stop on Dundas St. W., just west of Scarlett Rd., where the 18-year old was gunned down, to appeal for his killer to come forward.
Minutes before his death, St. Remy was at Wilson's home watching TV with her son.
"I can't eat or sleep because I think of him and his mother all the time," she said, weeping. "He was such a good kid."
Joseph, 38, who immigrated to Canada with her family from St. Lucia, said her son was an "innocent youth" and not a gang member who carried guns.

"Instead of watching him graduate from school, I am putting him in a casket," Joseph said. "My son didn't deserve to die like this.
"Whoever did this is a coward," she told the crowd. "My son was innocent and he didn't deserve this kind of death."
Toronto Police Det. Mike Carbone said the public's help is required in identifying two men who fled the scene around 10:40 p.m. last Friday.
"We are receiving a lot of feedback from the community," Carbone said. "We need anyone who saw something to call us."
Funeral services for St. Remy will take place on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, at 867 College St., near Ossington.
