Toronto police release video in nightclub shooting death

TORONTO – Homicide investigators have released a surveillance video in connection to the shooting death of a Toronto woman outside a downtown nightclub this summer.

A male and a female victim, identified as Jelena Loncar, were found with gunshot wounds in front of the C-Lounge night club on Wellington Street around 3 a.m. on Aug. 26.

Police say Loncar was shot in the chest and died in hospital while the male was found at a gas station 300 metres away with multiple gunshot injuries.

The security video shows three vehicles travelling eastbound on King Street West and turning onto Portland Street. The cars were later seen passing the area a second time.

Investigators say there was an exchange of gunfire around 2:45 a.m. at a parking lot located at the back of 689 The Queensway prior to the fatal nightclub shooting.

Authorities believe the vehicles seen fleeing the area were the same ones caught on video near on Wellington Street.
