Two men found suffering gunshot wounds on Danforth Avenue east of Woodbine Avenue shot each other, according to police.
On March 19, Jonathan Stefan Khan, 21, and Shawn Chestnut-Reddick, 22, were found suffering from gunshot wounds on the sidewalk shortly before 9 p.m. Both were taken to the hospital and later succumbed to their injuries.
Police from 54 and 55 Divisions, with the help of the Centre of Forensic Science, determined that both men knew each other, and met by chance on the street. An argument broke out and escalated to a fight, during which both drew handguns and shot each other.
One firearm was found under Khan, while the other was taken from the scene by a third party and has yet to be recovered, which is being investigated separately.
Police said assistance from the community and security camera footage helped solve the case, and thanked residents for their help.
