A 33-year-old Toronto man has been charged following a shooting that injured one person in the Bloor Street West and Margueretta Street area earlier this year.
Police say they initially responded to a shooting call just after 1 a.m. on May 18, after an altercation between the suspect and a group of people. It's alleged that the suspect discharged a firearm towards the group and ended up striking one person.
On Wednesday, the Toronto police Gun and Gang Task Force identified the suspect, and executed a search warrant near Allen Road and Ranee Avenue.
Officials say they seized a fully automatic handgun, a semi‑automatic handgun, three magazines — including a 'drum-style' pack with a 50‑round capacity. In addition to the firearms, police say they found a quantity of cocaine, and proceeds of crime over $5,000.
