Two people, including a 16-year-old boy, have been charged with attempted murder after a shooting at Lawrence Square Shopping Centre earlier this month.

Emergency services responded to the mall at Lawrence Ave. W. and Allen Rd. around 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 8 for the report of a shooting. Two men had been struck by one bullet each, police said, but only the first man, a 31-year-old, was found in the mall itself, suffering from minor injuries.

Witnesses had seen one of the victims running through the mall, according to paramedics.

Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said the 27-year-old victim who fled the scene was found at a house near the shopping centre. He had suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, and was taken to hospital.

The two victims had been standing with a group of other men when a shooter approached and fired at them 10 times. Following the shooting, the accused 16-year-old fled to a vehicle allegedly driven by the other male suspect now facing charges.

Police said they also recovered clothing worn at the time of the shooting on Monday.

Kimeron Grant, 21, and the teen are facing multiple charges, including two counts of attempted murder each. The teenager cannot be named due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
