He has been identified as Everone Paul Mitchell, of Toronto.
The other victim, 57, was transported to hospital. Police told Global News he is expected to survive.
Det. Jeffrey Tavares told reporters Saturday afternoon that police do not believe this was a random act.
“From what we were able to gather so far, the offender is walking towards the group with some sort of purpose, which would make me believe that it wasn’t a random act,” he said.
Tavares said Mitchell did not live in the complex and was there visiting friends. He was not known to police.
