"Police are looking for a 34-year-old man in connection with a fatal shooting that happened at a commercial plaza in Toronto's east end Saturday. Toronto police responded to reports of a shooting in the Victoria Park Avenue and Sheppard Avenue E. area just before midnight Saturday, according to a news release. Officers located a man inside a vehicle with gunshot wounds, police said. Despite life-saving measures by emergency responders, he was pronounced dead at the scene."
"Police later identified the victim as 43-year-old Paulin Harusha. A 34-year-old man is now wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for first-degree-murder in connection with the shooting, Det. Sgt. Alan Bartlett said in an update Thursday. "If you know where [he] is and are found to be harbouring or aiding him in any way, be assured we will investigate and lay charges as appropriate," said Bartlett. He said there is no indication the suspect has left the jurisdiction."
"The relationship between Harusha and the suspect is still under investigation, but officers believe there was "some familiarity" between the two of them, Bartlett said. Police said at the time of the incident that multiple suspects were reported leaving the scene in a light-coloured SUV before officers arrived. But Bartlett said Thursday that officers are only looking for one suspect."
