Toronto Police have identified the city’s 95th homicide victim of the year.
Edwin “Chris” Humberto Velasquez was walking with a group of people on King St. W., west of Spadina Ave., around 12:10 a.m. Wednesday when the shooter approached him and fired multiple times.
The 34-year-old died in hospital.
A woman who was hanging out with the group of friends — but who police say didn’t know Velasquez — was shot in the leg, Det. Keri Fernandes said Thursday. Her injuries are not life-threatening.
Police say the shooter fled westbound on King St. W. in a blue Mazda. They have released security camera images of the vehicle with the licence plate ATVP 407, but say the plate is not associated to that Mazda.
Anyone with information is asked to call the homicide squad at 416-808-7400, or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS.
