Two additional suspects charged with first-degree murder in Toronto shooting

Toronto police say they have arrested two more suspects — including a 17-year-old boy — after a shooting in the city’s east end last month left two people dead.

Police say officers responded to gunshots heard in the area of Bain Avenue and Logan Avenue around 11:15 p.m. on April 15.

They say two males were found with gunshot wounds and one of them was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other victim was later pronounced dead in hospital.

Police have identified the victims as two men, aged 18 and 20, from Toronto.

They say a 17-year-old boy was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder on May 3, and police later issued Canada-wide arrest warrants for two more suspects.

Police say both suspects — a 17-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man — were arrested in Barrie, Ont., on Monday and each charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 27, 2025.
