Two men were arrested in Montreal in connection with a fatal shooting in North York on Father’s Day.
It happened on the afternoon of June 19 in the area of Lotherton Pathway and Caledonia Road, south of Lawrence Avenue West.
When police and paramedics arrived, they found 24-year-old Jaron Williams with no vital signs, suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was later pronounced dead at the scene.
On Sunday, police announced that Montreal police, in consultation with the homicide unit, had arrested two men in their 20s for William’s murder.
Police said Jalen Campbell Brown and Justin Harker have been charged with first degree murder.
They literally appeared in court on Sunday and were remanded in custody.
Police previously said four suspects were seen fleeing the scene in a vehicle described as a 2010-2015 beige or champagne-colored Chevrolet Equinox shortly after the shooting.
Police are also investigating whether the incident is linked to another shooting a few kilometers away in the area of Amaranth Court and Flemington Road that happened minutes earlier and left a 43-year-old man seriously injured.
It was a violent Father’s Day in Toronto this year with four separate shootings, including the two in North York that left one man dead and seven others injured.
Police continue to ask anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
