An arrest warrant has been issued for the suspect in a triple shooting inside a North York football facility earlier this month that left one man dead.
On Oct. 9 at 7:20 p.m., Toronto police responded to a report of shots fired at the La Liga Sports Complex, an indoor soccer and basketball facility near Finch Avenue West and Alness Street west of Dufferin Street.
Three people were found at the facility with gunshot wounds and were taken to local trauma centers with serious to life-threatening injuries, police said.
One of the injured later died at the hospital, police said.
The man has been identified as 49-year-old Woodbridge resident Edwin Farley Alvarado Quintero.
According to a GoFundMe page, Quintero leaves behind his wife and two daughters, ages 13 and 18.
Investigators are not saying whether the victims were targeted.
Police have not said what was going on inside the sports complex when the shooting took place. However, in a statement posted online by Futsal Canada, it said that “Quintero was doing his job and his passion when an altercation broke out between some players” and may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. The comments made by the organization have not yet been confirmed by the police.
On Thursday, police said a warrant had been issued for a suspect in connection with the investigation.
Toronto resident Christian Cooksum, 19, is wanted for second-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
