Maybe his ex-wife put a hit on him.

Yes I know, farfetched

Supposedly he was getting sued because he owed someone $13 million. Sounds like he pissed off the wrong people:
"He was involved in a number of business-related civil suits, such as a claim by the commercial real estate broker Cushman & Wakefield that Mr. Giannini and a colleague, Simeon Papailias, owed them commissions in a $13-million transaction. Earlier this year, Mr. Giannini and Mr. Papailias were co-plaintiffs in a litigation seeking $1.3-million from three others realtors, alleging a breach of a loan agreement."

I'm sure the Police will have some questions for the good people at Cushman & Wakefield. There's motive right there. He also had a suit for 1.3 million (not 13 million) against three other realtors. Perhaps they were sending a message to the co-plaintiff to drop the suit.

So he was being sued and was suing others. I think the Police will be able to connect the dots. If the cops find the hitman, he may roll and provide details on who hired him in exchange for a reduced sentence. I think this one will be solved.

I doubt his ex-wife ordered the hit.

A couple more things which haven't been mentioned.

One police source said detectives are scouring the background of the victim. Reports that he had a brother involved in crime probes in Thailand is part of an overall investigation, searching for a motive.

Lebanon-born Giannini’s uncle Charles Khabouth, of Ink Entertainment — which operates nightclubs and restaurants around the world — said through spokesperson Elaine Quan “he would prefer to keep it private for his family during this very difficult time.”

Police would not confirm or deny if a previous shooting near the realtor’s office at the Shops on Don Mills in May could be connected.

That incident remains unsolved, as does a shooting two years at Michael’s, which police do not believe is related.

It's interesting how the hitman found Giannini so quickly. Maybe he was working with an accomplice inside in the packed restaurant.

^^^ pretty ballsy to just walk into a busy restaurant like that.

The suspect is black, medium build. And it looks like a Boston Red Sox jacket.
Hey, that narrows it down to about 100,000 guys in Toronto

I would like to speak to the guy that glances over at him when he enters the glass doors to the restaurant. I think he was involved. Stab in the dark but it may bear fruit.

Additionally, I thought there was a license plate. No mention of a vehicle being found or a search presently underway.

She wants the public to pay particular attention to the emblems on the suspect’s hoodie.
“Think about the emblems, especially that emblem on the jacket, I find that to be quite distinctive.”
The emblem was described as a letter “B” emblazoned on the left chest area of the hoodie.

Mrs. Sherlock thinks he is be from Boston, lol

Only a dumb assassin would keep the same jacket; he most likely changed clothes as soon as he got in the car

That car was most likely stolen and they'll find it burned to a crisp in Orangeville somewhere

"B" for... I know the Bloods have a chapter in Toronto. Most likely a ploy to deflect attention from the real perpetrators though.

Well maybe whoever targeted him wanted to "send a message"; I mean why shoot him in so obviously open place, the guy was not a Pablo Escobar sleeping in a different bed each night. He most likely had a regular week routine, he could had been assassinated in a more discreet way
