A man suspected of killing Toronto resident Karim Hirani was caught on tape before and after the shooting, Toronto Police revealed Wednesday.

Security camera footage from around 3:30 a.m. on July 8 shows a man, believed to be in his 20s, wearing a light-coloured hoodie and dark pants, driving into a parking lot and exiting the car. Police believe the shooting then occurred off camera.

The security footage later shows the man running back towards the vehicle before driving off.

Hirani died of a gunshot wound at the scene, outside an apartment building at 415 Driftwood Ave., near Jane St. At the time, Hirani was accompanied by two other people.

Motive remains unclear in the shooting and police are appealing for information from the public.

Det.-Sgt. Mike Carbone also noted that the car, a dark Nissan Maxima, was not owned by the suspect, instead belonging to what he described as a “non-traditional” rental company, where transactions take place primarily in cash.





The police are following up with the owners of the company, and the investigation continues.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7400 or CrimeStoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
