A 21-year-old man has been arrested in the shooting death of a Toronto rapper in Scarborough on Monday night.
Police were called to Kingston and Galloway roads before 10:30 p.m. and located 23-year-old Shakur Clarke-Sargeant suffering gunshot wounds.
Life-saving measures were performed but Clarke-Sargeant, known as the rapper YTN Paco, was pronounced dead at the scene. He is the city’s 32nd homicide victim of the year.
One suspect had been arrested, and in a news release on Friday, police identified him as 21-year-old Jeavon Quashie.
He was charged with first-degree murder. The charge has not been tested in court.
“We believe there was planning and deliberation,” Det.-Sgt. Phil Campbell said on Tuesday.
Homicide investigators said a second suspect is still outstanding, but they do not know his identity yet. He is described as Black, in his early 20s and wearing dark clothing.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
