Police have identified two brothers as the victims of a double homicide in Toronto's north end Monday afternoon.
Toronto police said Justin Waterman, 18, and Jerome Waterman, 22, both of Toronto, were found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the stairwell of a parking garage.
The shootings occurred in broad daylight at 325 Bogert Ave., near Sheppard Ave. West, shortly before 4 p.m. Monday.
Officers said the two brothers hailed from Scarborough, on the opposite end of town, and now investigators are trying to determine what brought them to the Sheppard and Bathurst area.
Police also said that the elder victim is the father of a new-born baby.
Though few details have been released, police said that a person or people were seen running from the parking garage area to nearby Earl Bales Park, a wooded area. It's not known if they were suspects.
On Tuesday, residents expressed their concern over a killing that detectives characterized as an execution. One man was shocked by the location of the murder, since local children often play in the stairwells.
Police tape remained at the site of the killing as investigators attempted to piece together what led to the shootings.
Investigators are now going through surveillance video captured from the scene.
Resident Martin Berry said the entire affair is disturbing.
"This is bad, because there are a lot of kids (who) play in the stairwells," he said, adding that the apartment building is turning into a danger zone.
"There's been a lot of drugs, here. There's been a lot of fights. I've never see this -- somebody being murdered in daylight."
Another resident, Saira Francis, also said that the deaths are shocking because of all the children who live nearby.
"It's very scary for us, especially the kids."
