Two of the three young men killed in a gunfire exchange during a weekend condo party in downtown Toronto were from East Preston.

A spokeswoman for the Toronto Police Service said Tuesday that the investigation was continuing but police had no new information to share.

The three men killed in the Friday evening shooting at Queens Wharf Road have been identified as Jalen Colley, 21, and Joshua Gibson-Skeir, 20, both originally from East Preston, and Tyronne Noseworthy, 19, of Toronto.

A preliminary autopsy report received Monday revealed that the three died from gunshot wounds, Toronto police said.

Colley died two days short of his 22nd birthday. CTV Toronto reported Monday that Colley was celebrating that upcoming birthday at the Airbnb condo gathering when gunfire erupted.

The television outlet quoted Colley’s mother as saying, “my son’s life is gone and I can’t bring it back.”

She said he may have died in a crime that looks bad but “he is not that crime and he was not in that kind of life.”

“I know the public will judge him,” she said. “At the end of the day, we only serve one judge, and he is now with that judge."

Colley's mother, who did not want to be identified by name, described her son as kind, down to earth and funny. He worked as a forklift operator and aspired to be a radiologist, she said.

Four people shot

Police say they responded to reports of a shooting on Friday at about 10:20 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found four victims suffering from gunshot wounds and two were pronounced dead at the scene. The shootings took place inside the 32nd-floor condo and in the adjacent hallway.

A third victim was taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, police say.

A fourth man was taken to hospital with serious injuries and a fifth man was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Police have said their preliminary investigation indicated that there were two shooters, that two of the dead are homicide victims and that the third death was a case of a gunman taking his own life.

Police recovered two firearms at the scene. Police said the preliminary investigation indicates that the shooters involved are deceased and police are not looking for additional suspects.

Police said Colley and Gibson-Skeir were living in Brampton.

Noseworthy was a Toronto rapper who went by the alias Fourty4Double0 of the Tallup Twinz.
