  • Thursday, a teen boy was shot inside a Tim Hortons restaurant in Scarborough and later died in hospital, police say, with Watson stating `There will be information we will not be disclosing so we can get the best witness statement`.
  • The homicide unit has taken over the probe, with the Toronto Police Service homicide unit investigating while the unknown suspect fled the scene and no suspect information is available.
