Havard McKenzie told a jury it’s no surprise his fingerprint was found on a door at the Garden Restaurant because it was one of his favourite places to eat sweet and sour chicken on rice. “I know that I was there because my fingerprint was found on the glass so at some point in time, I was there at that restaurant,” he testified Friday in Superior Court. But McKenzie repeatedly insisted he didn’t leave it there early Nov. 16, 2014 after shooting Tariq Mohammed, 31, as he lay in a fetal position on the floor at the front of the Dundas St. W. restaurant. He also denied he is one of the men captured by surveillance video robbing Mohammed’s friend of his gold chains near the restaurant’s washrooms, moments before McKenzie and another unknown gunman blasted bullets into the unarmed Mohammed — also chillingly recorded on video. “Is that you in the video, are you shooter number two,” asked defence lawyer Gary Grill, tapping his pen against the screen where the graphic footage has repeatedly played.
