Then, an update at 11:56 pm reported that two people walked into a hospital “suffering from gunshot wounds” and appeared to be “serious.”
While the report initially said the two injured were not known to be related to the shooting at Jane Street and Wilson Avenue, police have now confirmed that they are connected.
On May 26, officers responded to a daytime shooting at 375 King Street West.
It is reported that officers arrived on the scene and located 21-year-old Jenkins, a 15-year-old boy, and a 27-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wounds.
They were all immediately taken to hospital, where Jenkins was pronounced dead. The boy and the woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Police later released footage of the active gunfight that took place on Blue Jays Way.
The 15-year-old was one of Jenkin’s associates and was reportedly charged with firearm offences.
