A man inside the lobby was struck by gunshots and was pronounced dead on the scene. He has been identified Chavaughn Jones, 32, of Toronto.

Police say another man in the lobby was injured from broken glass and treated by paramedics at the scene.

The three suspects then ran down the apartment complex and fired more shots. Two more people were injured in the second round of gunfire.

A woman was shot in the leg. She was taken to hospital and has since been released. The other victim, a man, was grazed by a bullet and treated on scene.

The male suspects then fled the scene in a dark Honda CRV. The vehicle has since been recovered in York Region. It was found burned.

The first suspect is described as a man with a light complexion and a slim build who was wearing a light-coloured hoodie and pants.

The second suspect is described as man with a light complexion with a medium build and was dressed in a black hoodie and black pants. The last suspect is described as a man with a medium to heavy build and was also wearing a black hoodie with black pants.

Investigators continue to appeal for witnesses of the incident.

Multiple members of his family, including his 10-year-old daughter, were present at a press conference held by police and pleaded that any witnesses come forward.

“You took away an exemplary father. You took away an amazing son, a brother, an uncle, a cousin … You took away an amazing member of the community,” said Jones’ Aunt, Tenesha Wilson.

“It is a massive loss to have lost Chavaughn.”
