According to investigators, Toronto resident Malachi Elijah Bainbridge was found by police around 12:40 a.m. on Jan. 22 in the parking lot of a McDonald’s on Ingram Drive near Keele Street.

Police said officers located him in a car with multiple gunshot wounds. Life-saving measures were performed, but Bainbridge was pronounced dead at the scene.
