Photo released of man wanted in North York double fatal shooting

Toronto police have released photos of a suspect wanted in connection with a double fatal shooting in North York earlier this week. Investigators say they are searching for a man, 18 years to early 20s with a short and stocky build with dreadlocks with a beard. Police were called to the area of Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue around 2:15 p.m. on Sept. 17 for the sounds of gunshots. When officers arrived at the scene, they located two people with gunshot wounds. One of the victims was pronounced dead on the scene, while the other was taken to hospital via emergency run. He died of his injuries in hospital. The pair have been identified as Ibrahim Handule, 26, and Deshawn Walters, 27, both of Toronto. Investigators say two firearms were recovered at the scene. The daylight shooting happened just steps away from a boys and girls club, a daycare, and two schools, both of which were put in lockdown. One woman told CityNews her three grandchildren attend Brookview Public School, located 300 metres from the shooting scene. “We need a change, and we need a change to happen soon,” said Jackie. Police say they are working to reduce gun violence. “And we have a lot of community programs where our officers are working with the youth and getting them in the mindset to make better decisions so that it doesn’t come to this,” said Gurr.
