Police said when they went to the scene, they found a second victim — a 29-year-old man — who was dead.

He has since been identified as Oshaine Channer of Peel Region.

Investigators are appealing for anyone with information to contact the York police homicide unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7865 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
