Toronto police have arrested two people, including a teenage boy, in connection with the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old man in Scarborough last year.

The incident occurred on the evening of Sept. 24, 2023, in the area of Morningside Avenue and Danzig Street.

Officers found Joshua Bernard-Reis suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died two weeks later.

He is facing charges of first-degree murder and attempted murder.

The charges have not been tested in court.
