Toronto police say a man has been arrested in connection to a shooting that left two emerging artists dead last summer.
Jahvante Smart, 21, known as Smoke Dawg and Ernest Modekwe, 28, known as Koba Prime, were gunned down in Toronto’s Entertainment District in June 2018.
Police say a woman shot in the same incident is expected to recover.
A warrant was issued for a 22-year-old man and police say he was arrested in Burnaby, B.C., last month on unrelated charges and turned over to police in Toronto.
