Two of the victims are considered to be Toronto’s seventh and eighth homicide victims of the year but police have not said which two were killed by the third.

Police said in the release that the investigation is ongoing. No other details about the victims have been released. Police have not released a photo of Gibson-Skeir.

On Friday at about 10:20 p.m., police were called to 85 Queens Wharf Rd. for reports of a shooting.

The shooting happened in a unit on the 32nd floor of a condo on Queens Wharf Road, near Bathurst Street and Fort York Boulevard, before spilling into the hallway.
