Two years after a deadly arson fire at a Greek restaurant in Scarborough, one of three men responsible has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and arson after his fellow arsonist was accidentally killed while setting the establishment on fire.
Shiloh Norton admits that on June 21, 2024, at 11:42 p.m., he left his home and took an Uber to a parking lot near Martin Grove Road and Eglinton Avenue, where he got into a stolen Acura RDX. It had been reported stolen to Peel Regional Police the day before.
Norton, who was 21 at the time, picked up 26-year-old O’Brien Todd and a 16-year-old before driving to a restaurant located at 1176 Kennedy Rd. called Molon Lave Taverna.
The stolen Acura RDX reversed into a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant around 1:35 a.m. on June 22, 2024. Video surveillance shown in court captured Todd and the 16-year-old exiting the vehicle while Norton remained in the driver’s seat.

Todd was carrying a “club”, used to prevent vehicles from being stolen, and walked towards the restaurant’s front door while Norton can be seen exiting the driver’s seat and helping the 16-year-old open the rear hatch of the Acura.

Norton then returns to the driver’s seat while the 16-year-old can be seen removing three jerry cans from the trunk. According to the facts, those jerry cans were filled with gasoline. The teen walks to the front door of the restaurant before Todd breaks the glass door of the restaurant with the club. Todd and the 16-year-old then climb through the broken glass.
