LONDON, ONT. One of two men charged in London’s latest homicide recently served time for an attack that left a variety store owner fighting for his life back in 2017. In July of 2018 Jesse McConnell, 26, pleaded guilty to the Oct. 2017 attack on storeowner Roger El Shorafa and was sentenced to three and half years in prison. Now McConnell is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of 28-year-old Alex Pacheco. In the 2017 attack, El Shorafa was left in critical condition. The community rallied together at the time to support his recovery. Among the efforts were a GoFundMe and financial support from local restaurant chain Shelby’s Food Express.
