Toronto police say they have charged four people in connection with a 2016 homicide in Etobicoke.

Police said they were called to a residential building in the Islington Avenue and St. Andrews Boulevard area on Dec. 19, 2016 for a medical call.

At the time of the incident, investigators said a man was found with a “severe injury,” but did not disclose the nature of the injury.

The victim, 26-year-old Faysal Mohamed Hees, who was a resident of the building, later died at the scene.

The death was quickly labelled suspicious and homicide investigators took over the case.

Police said a post-mortem examination later determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound.
