MMA Star One of the Dead in a Club Shooting
Thursday, January 29, 2009
A recent win via triangle choke by Colm Murphy.
Two found dead outside a local club in Toronto, Canada. One being former mix martial arts fighter Colm Murphy.
Colm Murphy, 33, was shot in the chest twice, while him and his long life friend Jayceon Taylor and other friends were out celebrating Colm's recent win in Futeki FC in Japan.
The shooting occured late night Wednesday, around 1 am, cops were reported at the murder scene around 1:15 am, but it was to late to see the MMA star Colm Murphy.
Colm Murphy was pronounced dead at the scene, an autopsy conducted Thursday showed the cause of death as two shot wounds to the chest. The bullet reportedly punctured Colm's lung before leaving his body, said Jayceon Taylor, Colm's long time friend and training partner.
Taylor said Murphy had gathered with some friends at a night club with some friends to celebrate his recent submission win over Mickey Connolly in Japan, at Futeki 5.
At the club the reported shooter was causing some uproars in the club with others, and was asked to leave. He did not take that well and began to try and fight the manager of the club, Murphy tried to step in and break the fight up, when the shooter pulled a handgun on Murphy and shot him twice in the chest. He then reportedly tried to escape, but was later caught by the cops a few blocks down.
Curtis Jackson, 33, was arrested and charged with second degree murder.
Colm Murphy was introduced to the MMA world by his older brother when he was 12, and was instantly hooked. He then began to train in BJJ, and was on his high school, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, wrestling team for his grade 9 and 10 year until the coach left, and the school could not find a replacement.
The like mma fighter, although talked alot of trash, rose in the ranking in many organization, receiving several title shot, and winning the belt in numerous leagues, recently Rings FC winning the belt over Miles Allen and then defending it succesfully twice.
Colm is known, not as being the best fighter ever but having one of the biggest hearts. In an interview with Edison Sabado while in SoHK, where Murphy got his first win over Miles Allen, he recalled that win as being the greatest achievement of his career.
After Murphy's recent win in Japan he announced his intention on taking a break from MMA for a while.
R.I.P. Colm Murphy you will be forgotten.
