Jatorri Williams, 19, has been charged with three Toronto murders

Detectives have arrested a suspect they allege is the triggerman in three Toronto murders.

Cops say that Jatorri Williams, 19, of Toronto, was arrested Wednesday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, and one each of second-degree murder and attempted murder.

MURDER ONE: On Sept. 18, 2018, Jago Anderson, 19, was found with a gunshot wound on the ground at 4559 Sheppard Ave. E. He died at the scene.

MURDERS TWO AND THREE: On Oct. 1, 2019, at around 8:20 p.m., gunmen began firing shots in the area of Venetian Cres. just south of the Jane and Finch Mall.

The triggermen then allegedly squeezed off several shots at a teenage boy who suffered multiple wounds before escaping the firestorm. At 9:04 p.m., police say the same gunmen fired off a number of rounds at homes in the area of 2010 Sheppard Ave. W. No one was injured in that incident.

Finally, at 9:29 p.m., two men were in a courtyard at 306 Grandravine Dr. when police allege the same shooters fired a flurry of bullets. Both men were critically injured.

Delauntae Bryant, 24, and Eric Rowe, 20, were rushed to a nearby hospital where they died.

Bryant was visiting the city from Niagara Falls, where he worked in construction, and was planning on celebrating his birthday. He stopped by to see family because he was having car trouble.

“He was a good youth,” a younger brother told the Toronto Sun at the time. “I think he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Shortly before the shooting, the dead man’s brother said he spoke to him by phone and agreed to pick him up to take him out for his birthday. When he arrived at the complex, his brother and another male were on the ground in the courtyard suffering from gunshot wounds and surrounded by cops.

“He was shot in the head,” the emotional man said. “But he was looking at me … and he scratched his nose.”

Cops allege Williams and Jeziah Blair-Taylor, 20, of Toronto, were responsible for the double murder.

Blair-Taylor was arrested on Oct. 28, 2019 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Williams appeared in court on Thursday on the charges.
