Two people are facing murder charges in connection with a downtown shooting last month, Toronto police say.
In a news release issued Friday, investigators said officers were first called about gunshots in the area of Sherbourne Street and Dundas Street East early on the morning of Sept. 16.
Two men approached a group of people and started shooting, police say.
Investigators initially said that when officers arrived they found two people in life-threatening condition and two others in critical condition.
Police announced Friday that one person subsequently died in hospital.
A 48-year-old Brampton man and a 37-year-old Brampton man both now face second-degree murder charges.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact police or Crime Stoppers.

As the province doubled down on its “tough on crime” measures and calls for federal bail reform this week, rates of violence across Ontario jails — both inmate-on-inmate and inmate-on-staff assaults — are rising, according to an analysis of data shared with CBC News by the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU).
