Posted on Friday July 29, 2022

A Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect wanted for First Degree Murder and Attempted Murder following a double homicide in the City of Vaughan.

On Saturday, July 23, 2022, at approximately 3:30 a.m., York Regional Police responded to the ATL Lounge located at 2220 Highway 7 West, in the City of Vaughan for a report of a shooting. When officers arrived on scene, they located three victims with gunshot wounds.

Two of the victims succumbed to their injuries. They were identified as Tosin AMOS-AROWOSHEGBE, 25 and Chibueze MOMAH, 22. The third victim, a 20-year-old female, was transported to hospital and is currently in stable condition.
