A group of six black teenage boys was standing close to the train station having a conversation when two unknown black guys approached them. The suspects pointed firearms at them and demanded cell phones from the teenage boys. Instead of handing any items to the suspects, the group of boys ran away from the scene.
Five boys ran towards Brownclay and one boy ran towards Stanclay. The boy ran into the house in Stanclay and one suspect followed him. Upon entering the house, the suspect shot a female that was in the lounge. A ten-year- old boy also in the lounge at the time, but not shot. The teenager that ran into the house proceeded to another room where another a 16-year-old was sitting. The suspect followed him and two more shots were fired hitting the 16-year-old and killing him instantly. The victim that ran into the house was not shot.
The suspect did not take anything from the house and fled on foot toward Brownclay; the other suspects was still waiting at the train station and fled on foot.
Both shot victims were taken to Mahatma Gandhi Hospital. The 10-year-old boy was treated and discharged while the female victim had since been transferred to Addington Hospital.
The suspects were never seen in the area before and believed to be from the Mount Royal area.
