Police have released the identities of the two men killed in the deadly shooting at the Salsa on St. Clair festival in Toronto on July 11 that also left five others with non-life-threatening injuries.
The festival celebrating Latin music and culture had roughly 13,000 people gathered when the shooting broke out, according to police.
“The victims have been identified as Shaquan Quashie, 25, and Cesar Vernaza, 20,” Toronto Police Service wrote in a July 13 release.
Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw said July 13 that the shooting was a “targeted event” and that Quashie and Vernaza knew each other. He added that police are also investigating whether two additional shootings in Toronto over the weekend have any link to the Salsa on St. Clair attack….
