A 45-year-old man has been charged with killing a 16-year-old boy in a shooting in east Toronto last weekend, police say. A second suspect remains outstanding.
Toronto police said officers responded to the Glendower Circuit and Birchmount Road area, near Finch Avenue East in Scarborough, at 1:49 p.m. on Saturday.
Police said that there was an altercation that resulted in a shooting, with two shooters involved.
One suspect fled the area on foot, while the other fled in a white-coloured SUV, police said.
Shortly after, the victim — 16-year-old Kayelin Rider-Downey — was located at a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police added.
Police have since announced that one arrest has been made in connection with the case, while the second suspect remains outstanding.
Toronto resident Kevin Lindo, 45, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder on Wednesday.
A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for 29-year-old Toronto resident Leon Foster, who is wanted for first-degree murder.
Police said Foster is “considered armed and dangerous.”
“If located, do not approach, call 9-1-1 immediately,” police said.
