Toronto police say they have arrested three men and have identified three others in connection with a shootout last year at a memorial for a slain rapper.
They say a large crowd gathered on June 9, 2020, in a parking lot next to Highway 401 in the north end of the city.
The crowd had come together to honour Demarjio Jenkins, a hip-hop artist known as Houdini, who had been shot and killed a few weeks earlier.
Police say around 11:20 p.m., a vehicle moving westbound on the highway shot at the crowd.
They say at least nine people in the parking lot shot back toward the highway for about 45 seconds.
Two people suffered gunshot wounds and police say they've arrested three people, have identified three other suspects and are working on identifying the remainder.
