They say Yafiet Rezene is Waterloo Region’s fifth homicide victim in 2019.

Two other men were also shot and injured in the incident. One was taken to hospital via ambulance while another was transported by friends.
Both were treated and have since been released.
Police say they detained several people at the scene and made a pair of arrests: a woman, who was arrested for obstructing police, and a man who was charged with drug-related offences.
They say there will be an increased police presence in the area as the investigation continues.
