Police have identified the two victims killed in a shooting over the weekend at a Toronto street festival and say both of them were targeted in the attack.

Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw also said that the five additional people who were injured in the shooting at the Salsa on St. Clair event on Saturday evening included bystanders. However, he declined to provide more details on those victims.

Chief Demkiw also declined to say how the two men killed knew each other, nor did he comment on any additional suspects.

Police identified the two men killed as Shaquan Quashie, 25, and Cesar Vernaza, 20.

One of the victims died on the street around St. Clair Avenue West and Arlington Avenue, while another man died in hospital, police said.
