Two men have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a shooting in North York last week, Toronto police say.
Police said that officers were called to an address on Bakersfield Street, near Sheppard Avenue West and Chesswood Drive, shortly before 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 21 for a shooting.
Officers arrived and located 37-year-old Toronto resident Nikie Timm in a parking lot suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.
Timm was rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition where he died.
Shortly after the shooting, police said, a second victim went to a local hospital on his own where he was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Investigators said both men “had attended a private event prior to the shooting.”
