Police are searching for three suspects after a 28-year-old man from Antigua was fatally shot in Toronto, Canada on Tuesday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

His name is Lawrence Errol Joel John who was born in Antigua and Barbuda but raised in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting occurred on San Romanoway, near Jane Street and Finch Avenue, shortly after 6 a.m.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

His mother, Sandals Antigua employee, Arlene Francis told Antigua Newsroom that her son has been living in Canada for the last two years with this fiance’.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Police on scene confirmed that three suspects approached a vehicle and opened fire on a man inside the car. A woman was also reportedly inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting but was not injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paramedics were called to the shooting but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Francis said she received the sad news from Joel’s fiance while at work and immediately began crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joel had two children, a boy and a girl, both eight years old.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Investigators have not provided detailed suspect descriptions but say the males were seen fleeing northbound.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sgt. Norm Proctor told CP24 that the suspects may have left the area in a white hatchback but speaking to CP24 on Tuesday afternoon, Henkel said it is “too premature” to confirm details about the suspect vehicle.<\/p>\n
