Toronto Police issued a correction and apology on Friday regarding a press conference Thursday that cited the location of a gang-related shootout as an Airbnb property.

Earlier this month, an altercation between members of the Young Buck Killers and a rival gang, the Queens Drive Crips, took place on the 25th floor of a building near Front St. and Blue Jays Way, according to investigators.

At Thursday’s press conference, Staff Insp. Mike Earl mentioned that the location in question was an Airbnb-rented condo, but police have since corrected that statement and apologized to the accommodation-sharing company. Police said that that the information investigators were originally given was incorrect.

According to police, members of the Young Buck Killers gang were partying at the condo on April 19 when they received word that members of the Queens Drive Crips were on their way.

Four Young Bucks went downstairs to look for the gatecrashers. When they came back upstairs, the Queen Drive Crips were waiting for them in the hallway. Security footage shows the gang members opening fire as the elevator doors open, but police do not believe anyone was seriously injured.

Later that day, two 17-year-olds involved with the Queens Drive Crips were kidnapped in what police believe was retaliation for the condo ambush.

The boys were tied to chairs, beaten throughout the day, threatened with guns, and allegedly forced to perform sexual acts, according to police.

A ransom was eventually paid, and the boys were released on April 21.

Three men have been charged in relation to the incident, and police are seeking two more.

Akli Whyte, 23, faces 10 charges related to possession of the gun. Deshawn Walters, 18, faces nine weapon charges.

A 16-year-old, who cannot be identified, faces seven charges.

Warrants have been issued for Lincoln Anthony Richards, 23, and a 17-year-old male.

Police caution that they are believed to be armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees them should call 911.
