toronto police releases surveillance images to solve chinatown shootingToronto police’s homicide unit has released still images extracted from surveillance camera footage near the scene of a shooting in Chinatown on Jan. 31, which resulted in the death of two men and caused serious injuries to three others.

According to Det. Sgt. Mike Carbone, police is not yet sure if the men in the images are suspects, persons of interest or mere witnesses to the double murder. Carbone explained that “we believe these men may have information that could assist in moving our investigation forward.” 26-year-old David Eminess and 29-year-old Quinn Taylor, along with a friend, were in front of New Ho King restaurant at 410 Spadina Avenue at approximately 3:17 a.m. on Jan. 31, when Carbone said they got into some sort of altercation with unknown suspects. Eminess was pronounced dead at the scene, while Taylor was pronounced dead at hospital a short while later. Police has confirmed that neither of the victims had any ties to known gangs.

The surveillance images show several men wearing distinctive clothing walking on the sidewalk. Whereas one of the images show a man holding a shiny metallic object, but Carbone refrained from asserting if the object was a gun. He commented that “these images are not the best, that’s the problem,” adding that “I expect and hope someone will perhaps come forward and identify the shooter for us.” In addition to that, Carbone explained that investigators are hoping that these images will prompt more witnesses or the subjects of the images will come forward voluntarily.
