Suspect in Deadly 2022 Scarborough Shooting Charged with First-Degree Murder
Investigators say surveillance video and an eyewitness rendering helped identify Justin Longshaw, while police also probe a possible link to a 2023 attempted murder.
- On Monday, Toronto Police arrested 39-year-old Justin Longshaw and charged him with first-degree murder in the November 2022 fatal shooting of Ding Ping Wang at a Scarborough plaza parking lot.
- Wang, a 31-year-old father who owned a kitchen cabinet business, was fatally shot on November 12, 2022, while sitting in his vehicle near Midland and Passmore avenues; police described him as not living a "high-risk, criminal lifestyle."
- Investigators recently released surveillance footage from the day before the murder showing the suspect conducting "reconnaissance," while a witness-led tip and artist rendering assisted in identifying the suspect.
- Police also linked the suspect, who they believe used the name "Jay," to an attempted murder at the same Scarborough plaza on March 10, 2023, with the connection still under investigation.
- Longshaw appeared in bail court on Tuesday as the motive for the 2022 targeted attack remains unclear, and police urged the public to contact them with any additional information.
