Toronto Police has confirmed to have arrested a 25-year-old suspect in connection to the fatal Chinatown shooting that claimed the lives of 26-year-old David Eminess and 29-year-old two weeks ago. Both victims were fatally shot outside New Ho King Restaurant at Spadina Avenue and Nassau Street around 3 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 31.
According to the police, even though the shooting was targeted it cannot be tied to any gang activity. Whereas, investigators have revealed that both victims were involved in an altercation with the suspect just prior to the shooting which also injured three others. Police arrested the suspect, identified as Kyle Sparks-Mackinnon, on Thursday and he is now facing charging including two counts of second degree murder and three counts of attempted murder.
Earlier this week, police released CCTV images of several persons of interest which they say directly led to the arrest. In a press conference held on Friday morning, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders stated that “this is a classic case where the public stepped up. They gave us that information and that information was able to translate into evidence,” adding that “we’re now here in a situation where we arrested somebody that decided to take a gun out and shoot five people.” Saunders explained that the investigation is not over as he explained that “we arrested somebody and a lot of times what happens with these investigations people think, ‘OK. Someone is arrested. It’s over.’ It’s not over. There’s still pieces of the puzzle and in this specific case we’re looking for exactly what the cause of this was.”
