On Sunday, Nov. 18, at around 1:30 p.m., a 23-year-old Ajax man named Cardinal Licorish was shot to death in an apartment building in Toronto’s West Hill neighbourhood.

Police found Licorish suffering from gunshot wounds in a stairwell inside the building near the intersection of Lawrence Ave. and Kingston Rd. in Scarborough. He died at the scene.

With his death, the city’s 90th homicide this year, Toronto passed its record for killings in a year — 89, set in 1991 — with 44 days remaining in 2018. As of Dec. 28, that total had risen to 96.

This year, Toronto has seen 51 gun deaths, 20 fatal stabbings and 12 homicides in a pair of shocking incidents of mass violence, the Yonge St. van attack and the Danforth mass shooting.

Forty-six of the those killed were under the age of 30; 10 were minors. Seventy-five men and boys; 21 women and girls.

By the Star’s count, police have neither arrested nor issued a warrant for arrest in 33 of these killings, excluding one apparent murder-suicide.

These are the victims of homicides in Toronto this year. The Star will continue to update this file until the end of 2018. It was last updated Dec. 28.
