Police have arrested 21-year-old Tre Willians Robert-Stevens in connection with the fatal parking lot shooting of Daniel John Lypka in Mimico on April 14.

Police responded to reports of a shooting early Thursday morning at 2:48 a.m. to the parking lot of 32 Vanevery St., just west of Royal York Rd. Lypka, 28, was found with a close-range gunshot wound and taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Det. Murray Barnes told media on Friday that police have been canvassing the area for information, and as a result identified suspect Robert-Stevens of Toronto. Barnes described Lypka and Robert-Stevens as longtime friends.

Neither man lived at the address where Lypka was shot, but both knew a third person who did. According to Barnes, Lypka was an apprentice plumber whose family lives locally.

Robert-Stevens was wanted by police on charges of second-degree murder. His vehicle, a 2001 red Honda Civic with Ontario licence plate BYHE 883, is still missing. The car has a sunroof and a rear spoiler.

Robert-Stevens is scheduled to appear in court on Saturday, April 16 at Old City Hall.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Murray Barnes at 416-808-2200 or police at 416-808-7400. You can also contact Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
