A Toronto man is facing charges for the shooting death of a 43-year-old man in North York earlier this month.
Police were called to the Victoria Park Avenue and Finch Avenue East area on July 4 around 1:40 p.m. for reports of a person being shot.
Officers found a man with serious gunshot wounds in a parking lot near Chester Le Boulevard.
The man was taken to hospital in life threatening condition where he later died of his injuries. The victim was identified as Andre Charles of Toronto.
Two suspects were seen fleeing the area and police arrested one of them on Wednesday.
