Police have identified a second person wanted in connection with a fatal shooting in Toronto’s Entertainment District over the Canada Day long weekend.
Toronto police issued a news release Thursday saying they had judicial authorization to identify a 16-year-old boy wanted for two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
The shooting took place outside Cube Nightclub, located near Queen Street West and Peter Street, around 8 p.m. on June 30.
Three people -- two men and a woman -- were struck with bullets.
Jahvante “Smoke Dawg” Smart, 21, and Ernest “Kosi” Modekwe, 28, both succumbed to their injuries. The 37-year-old woman is expected to survive.
Modekwe was described by family and friends as a music brand manager that worked with a hip-hop collective called ‘Prime.’ Smart was a rising rap artist who was a member of the same collective.
Investigators did not immediately say how many suspects they were searching for.
