Toronto police to give update on U.S. Consulate shooting probe

Toronto police are set to provide an update on their probe involving several shootings across the city, including one at the U.S. Consulate in March.

Chief Myron Demkiw and Chief Supt. Joe Matthews will speak to reporters at 11 a.m. Tuesday.

On Friday, police announced that 18-year-old Sheldon Tracy-Stewart was arrested in connection with the consulate shooting. He faces 11 charges, including discharging a firearm, illegal firearm possession and vehicle theft.

He was also charged with failing to comply with a release order, as court documents obtained by Global News alleged Tracy-Stewart was bound by one at the time of his arrest.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, an Iraqi national, was arrested and charged in the United States last month with terrorism offences in connection with the shooting.

One suspect is outstanding: 19-year-old Zara Jabbi.

Last Thursday, Const. Marc Pinizzotto died after carrying out an early-morning raid linked to the shooting.

The 43-year-old emergency task force member was shot as officers executed a search warrant at 15 Martha Eaton Way, an apartment building near Trethewey and Black Creek drives, at about 5:40 a.m. June 11.

He was pronounced dead at Sunnybrook Hospital.

A 19-year-old man inside a unit on the apartment’s fourth floor shot at Pinizzotto when officers entered, the Special Investigations Unit – Ontario’s police watchdog – said. A second officer then shot at the man, hitting him multiple times.

He was taken to hospital, where he remains.

Police have said Nicholas Bennett will be charged with first-degree murder over the death of Pinizzotto.

More to come.
