An arrest warrant has been issued for an 18-year-old man wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old victim in Leaside earlier this month.
Toronto police responded to a shooting at Leonard Linton Park, in the Vanderhoof Avenue and Research Road area, at around 7:30 p.m. on June 9.
Police said the suspects who were in a vehicle approached and shot at a group of people sitting in a separate parked vehicle.
When officers arrived at the scene, they located two 20-year-old men suffering from gunshot wounds.
One of the victims was taken to a hospital, where he later died of his injuries. He was identified as Toronto resident Maaz Jogiyat.
The other victim had non-life-threatening injuries.
On Friday, police said Maviya Tahir of Toronto is wanted for first-degree murder and attempted murder.
Police have released a photo of Tahir. He is described as five-foot-ten, weighs 150 pounds, and has a light complexion.
“He is believed to be armed, violent, and dangerous. If located, do not approach. Call 9-1-1 immediately,” police said in a news release.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
