Police have arrested a Toronto man following a shooting at a North York plaza early last Friday morning.

Just before 3 a.m. police were called to a strip mall on Jane St., south of Wilson Ave. for reports of shots fired.

According to police, the victim had been standing in the mall’s parking lot next to his car when the suspect approached in a vehicle. The suspect allegedly emerged from the car and opened fire on the victim before using that vehicle to flee.

In the subsequent investigation, Orrell Martin Higgins, a.k.a. Orrell Segree, of Toronto, was identified by police as a suspect. On Wednesday, June 17 Higgins was arrested for his alleged involvement in the shooting.

Higgins, age 31, has been charged with five criminal offences related to the shooting including attempted murder, using a firearm and endangering life, and unauthorized possession of a firearm. Higgins appeared in court at Old City Hall on June 18.
