Two men have been arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with a triple shooting at Fairview Mall Monday afternoon, Toronto police say.
Officers were first called to the mall, near Don Mills Road and Sheppard Avenue East, around 4:10 p.m.
Police say they found two 25-year old men with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to hospital — one with life-threatening injuries and the second with non-life-threatening injuries.
A third person, who was dropped off to a nearby trauma centre in a personal vehicle, was later pronounced dead. Police have since identified that victim as 21-year-old Madar Hassan of Toronto.
On Tuesday evening, police announced two arrests in connection with the shooting.
A 25-year-old Toronto man faces charges of second-degree murder, unauthorized possession of a firearm in motor vehicle, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition, unauthorized possession of a prohibited device or ammunition and unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon.
A second 25-year-old Toronto man is charged with second-degree murder, unauthorized possession of a firearm in motor vehicle, possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition, unauthorized possession of a prohibited device or ammunition, unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon and failing to comply with release order.
Both men attended court virtually Tuesday morning.
