Toronto police have identified a 16-year-old male who was fatally shot at a Harbourfront condominium over the weekend.
Officers were called to 12 York Street, in the York Street and Lake Shore Boulevard West area, just before 6 p.m. on Sunday for reports of a shooting.
When police arrived at the ICE condo building, they located a male victim with multiple gunshot wounds in a unit on the 49th floor. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim was identified as 16-year-old Yonadab Dar of Toronto. Police said 19-year-old Elijah Chapman of Toronto turned himself in and is facing a second-degree murder charge.
“They did know each other; they were friends,” said Sgt. Michael Taylor. “We are not looking for anybody else. There are no outstanding suspects at this time.”
Sgt. Taylor says it’s believed the shooting took place early on Sunday morning, and investigators are looking into the theory that it was only reported to police after Chapman turned himself in.
The 19-year-old also allegedly disposed of a firearm in Lake Ontario, hence a heavy police presence along the waterfront. That weapon, which is believed to have been used in the fatal shooting, has not yet been recovered.
“They’re looking for a firearm, correct,” said Sgt. Taylor.
The investigation is ongoing.
