Two men have been charged in a shooting that claimed the life of a 21-year-old Brampton man last summer.

Police say the two suspects were arrested during raids on Friday and charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Brandon Hall.

Police officers responding to reports of a shooting found Hall without a pulse inside a home on Martree Crescent, near Bovaird Drive East and Southlake Boulevard, in the early hours of June 21.

He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.

Nineteen-year-old Evan Wright and 21-year-old Philip Fitzpatrick, both from the Brampton area, are scheduled to appear for a bail hearing Saturday.

Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact them.
