Dozens of people gathered at a newly-renamed park in Toronto’s east end Saturday morning to celebrate the life of its namesake, Caroline Huebner-Makurat, who was struck and killed by a stray bullet 11 months ago.
“This is where there's a culmination of the adult and the child come together and I think that really speaks to who Caroline was. She was a very grown-up child,” Huebner-Makurat’s husband, Adrian Makurat, told family, friends, and elected officials at a renaming ceremony at Caroline Huebner Parkette, located near Logan Avenue and Dundas Street East.
On July 7, 2023, Huebner-Makurat was on her way to lunch in the area of Queen Street East and Carlaw Avenue when an altercation broke out between three men.
The altercation, which police have said was believed to be a robbery, escalated to violence and two of the men brandished handguns and exchanged gunfire.
The 44-year-old mother of two, an innocent bystander, was struck by a stray bullet and later died in hospital.

He’s wanted on a Canada-wide warrant on charges of manslaughter and robbery with a firearm.
