Sgt. Terry Browne from the homicide unit told reporters. Police said the suspect came up from behind the victim, who was walking home at the time, and opened fire.

He said the footage was able to track the suspect from the area where he resides to the area of the shooting and then back to his residence.

“We have nothing to suggest he knew either one of them,” Det. Browne said. He was alluding to how at least eight people were shot on a Brooklyn subway train Tuesday. Police in that city are searching for an attacker who is believed to have detonated smoke bombs. A gunman killed the first Toronto victim last Thursday around 5 p.m. at the Sherbourne subway station. He added that “it was a chance meeting, a chance passing, and for reasons that are only known to the suspect, these two people who were victims on that day are now both dead.” He added that “we really want to figure out the underbelly of this individual.” Police know very little about the suspect and his motivations at this time. He said that “given that he had already killed two apparent strangers, as we allege, and that a cache of firearms was located in his residence, we can reasonably conclude that the quick work of our investigators has prevented a further loss of life.

A TTC worker and two members of the public intervened and restricted the accused until police arrived on scene. “We all are shattered at this point,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to speculate on whether someone was targeted based on their background or ethnicity, because we just don’t have that information,” he said. On Monday morning, a man approached a woman, knocked her to the ground and stabbed her in the chest and neck as she was leaving the subway at Yorkdale station. “Given that he had already killed two apparent strangers, as we allege, and that a cache of firearms was located in his residence, we can reasonably conclude that the quick work of our investigators has prevented a further loss of life,” Ramer said.

Perhaps there was something planned for the future,” he said. “My personal opinion is there were going to be more victims,” Police Chief James Ramer said during the news conference. “We have nothing to suggest that he knew either one of them and what we believe, at this stage anyways, is that it was what we do describe as random. Ramer acknowledged that the arrest of the suspect “does nothing to ease the suffering of the victims and their families” but he said that he hopes that it at least provides them a “sliver of closure.” From there, he said that investigators used video surveillance footage to track the suspect “both from the area where he resides, to the area of the shooting and then back to his residence.” Browne said that investigators were able to quickly link the two shootings “very early on” based on “the nature of the offences and how it was conducted.”
