One day after releasing the identity of a suspect in Corktown murder, Toronto police have announced an arrest in the case.
Jesse Graham-Richter died in what police have called an “ambush-style” killing at a Toronto Community Housing building near Adelaide and Parliament streets on Aug. 9.
The 22-year-old was found on the fourth-floor with a bullet wound to his head.
He died at the scene.
In September, police released surveillance camera images of a suspect in the case in hopes of garnering leads on his whereabouts.
The alleged gunman was identified by police on Wednesday and arrested in London, Ont. the next day.
A suspect identified as Kyler Johnson, 23, of Toronto, has been charged with first-degree murder.
He is due to appear in a Toronto courtroom today.
“The Toronto Police Service would like to thank the London Police Service for their assistance bringing this incident to a safe and successful conclusion,” police wrote in a news release.
Anyone with new information about the investigation is being asked to call Toronto police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
