On the afternoon of July 4, emergency crews were called to a housing complex near Chester Le Boulevard and Morecambe Gate, near Victoria Park Avenue and Finch Avenue East.

The victim, Andre Charles, was found shot in a parking lot. He was rushed to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

In an update released Wednesday evening, police said 21-year-old Toronto resident Shamar Bailey was arrested earlier in the day and charged with first-degree murder. He was scheduled to appear by video in a Toronto court Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, an arrest warrant was issued for 21-year-old Toronto resident Kwami Garrwood and is wanted for first-degree murder.

“He is believed to be armed, violent, and dangerous,” police said in the statement, encouraging residents to call 911 if he is seen.
