Toronto police release video of suspects involved in ongoing robbery, shooting investigation

Toronto police have released surveillance video of suspects involved in an ongoing robbery and shooting investigation spanning multiple months.

Police said officers responded to a call for a shooting in the area of Dawes Road and Halsey Avenue on July 26 at around 1:45 a.m.

Investigators allege that at least four armed suspects forced their way into an apartment and demanded money before they began to shoot at two people who were in the home.

The victims were shot multiple times and remain in hospital with life-altering injuries, investigators said.

Police said the suspects then fled the building on foot before getting into a white Dodge Ram pickup with black rims that was parked on Halsey Avenue. They were last seen driving southbound on Dawes Road.

On Tuesday, investigators released surveillance video which appears to show four suspects entering a residence, taking the elevator and then fleeing the scene moments later.

The first suspect is described as being male between five-foot-eight and six-feet tall, with a thin build and possibly has long hair that was tied back. At the time, he was wearing a grey hooded sweater with a blue hood and arms, blue jogging pants and dark shoes.
