The mother of an 18-year-old man shot in the back near a busy downtown Toronto intersection is frustrated that her son's killer will be sentenced for manslaughter, not murder. "I'm the one with the life sentence," she said. Then, as Nikov was walking away, Cheveldayoff shot him multiple times. In 2013, she told the court, Cheveldayoff threatened to shoot a TTC driver on a crowded bus. Kelly Whetter, the mother of Gabriel Nikov, still can't believe a jury found her son's killer guilty of manslaughter, not second-degree murder.
