Abdulkadir Handule, 22, of Toronto is wanted for two counts of First-Degree Murder and one count of Attempt Murder in conenction with the deadly June 30 2018 triple-shooting on Queen St. and Peter St. (Toronto police handout)
First-degree murder warrants have been issued in connection with the deadly double-shooting on a busy Queen St. sidewalk late last month.
Shortly before 8 p.m. on June 30, shots rang out along a busy stretch of Queen St. W. near Peter St. in what police sources described to the Sun as a “running gun battle” between a number of people.
Twenty-one year old Jahvante Smart — also known as Toronto rapper Smoke Dawg — and 28-year-old Ernest Modekwe were gunned down in front of horrified onlookers.
A third person also hit by gunfire was treated in hospital and later released.
Wednesday evening, Toronto police confirmed they’re looking for two suspects in connection with the brazen daylight shooting.
Abdulkadir Handule, 22, of Toronto, faces two counts of first-degree murder and a single count of attempted murder.
Investigators are also seeking a second person in connection with the deadly shooting — a youth police are unable to identify.
Police advise anybody spots either of the two suspects to not approach them, but immediately call 9-1-1.
Anybody with information on the case is asked to call Toronto police at 416-808-7400, or Crime Stoppers.
