Toronto police have identified the second suspect wanted in the fatal shooting of a 23-year-old man in Scarborough last week.
Speaking at a press conference Monday afternoon, Detective Sergeant Phillip Campbell says 18-year-old Douvon Ellis has been identified as the second suspect of the shooting. Ellis is now wanted on a Canada wide warrant for first degree murder.
“To Douvon Ellis, do the right thing, seek counsel and turn yourself in,” said Campbell.
23-year-old Shakur Clarke-Sargeant, also known as Ytn Paco, was the victim of a fatal shooting on the night of Sept. 15 at an apartment complex near Kingston and Galloway roads. Officers were called to the scene around 10:30 p.m. for reports of gunfire and found the victim suffering from fatal injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have said Clarke-Sargeant, who was also known as Ytn Paco, in Toronto, was targeted in a shooting that involved “planning and deliberation.”
Campbell says it is still unknown whether the suspects and victims were known to each other, or if this was related to gang violence.
This was Toronto’s 32nd homicide of the year.
One adult suspect, identified by police as Jeavon Quashie, 21, of Toronto, was arrested at the same complex shortly after the incident and has been charged with first-degree murder. Ellis, the second male suspect remains at large.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police.
