Toronto police made an arrest Saturday after two men died and another was injured in what police said was a “targeted” shooting at a Mt. Dennis apartment building June 29.

Police were called to 55. Emmett Ave., a highrise near Jane St. and Eglinton Ave. W., shortly after 1:30 a.m. June 29. Police said they found two adult men unresponsive. One died at the scene and another later died in hospital.

A third male victim who was suffering from serious but non-life-threatening gunshot wounds arrived at a local hospital shortly after the shooting, police said.

At a press conference, Chief Mark Saunders said based on the evidence, it was a “very targeted crime.” He said at least one of the victims was directly targeted, but all three might have been targets. He also said one of the victims killed was a wheelchair user.

Police identified the men killed as Christopher Teape, 25, and Ahmed Mohamud, 32, both from Toronto.

The shooting happened in a small commercial complex at the base of the highrise, at a unit containing the Learning Enrichment Foundation, a community economic development organization that provides newcomer services, language and skills training, employment services and child care.

Saunders confirmed that the first shots were fired inside the Learning Enrichment Foundation location.

Police said they seized a firearm and ammunition after executing a search warrant at an address early Saturday morning.

Denzil Kemoy Williams, 33, of Toronto, was charged with two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
