The investigation into the deaths of 18-year-old Christine Crooks and 20-year-old Juliana Pannunzio has been ongoing since the two were fatally shot more than a year ago on January 19, 2021, at a birthday party being held at a short-term rental.
Three Toronto residents have since been arrested in connection with the shooting.
On Friday, police announced that 30-year-old Trevor Barnett is now facing two counts of first-degree murder
In August 2021, Christopher Lucas, also known as rapper ‘El Paga,’ was charged with two counts of first-degree murder while Heidi Bahler was charged with accessory after the fact to murder and obstruct justice.
