Police are searching for three suspects after a 28-year-old man from Antigua was fatally shot in Toronto, Canada on Tuesday.
His name is Lawrence Errol Joel John who was born in Antigua and Barbuda but raised in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The shooting occurred on San Romanoway, near Jane Street and Finch Avenue, shortly after 6 a.m.
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’.
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.
Paramedics were called to the shooting but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Francis said she received the sad news from Joel’s fiance while at work and immediately began crying.
Joel had two children, a boy and a girl, both eight years old.
Investigators have not provided detailed suspect descriptions but say the males were seen fleeing northbound.
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.

He fortunate to have two children 8 years. Wondered if he had moved from one room to the next or the heiress was in a different general locale.
Dude a son and a father lost his life in a horribly tragic way and you are dissecting the “what could have”, the where and the man’s personal life… WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE TODAY? GEEZ MAN. RIP young man and prayers of comfort to his family
He cannot help himself. That is why he is called Duncy Bat
So dem carn be twin a**hole? Focus on the matter at hand aru too club ppl *insert bad word here* business.
They have a word called twins….. SMH
The children are not TWINS. One boy and one girl, same age. Not twins.
You gotta be brain damaged…the report says…”Joel had two children, a boy and a girl, both eight years old.” It doesn’t specify if the two children are by the woman he was currently involved with.. or even for the same mother because they could be Fraternal twins… Meaning boy and girl of the same pregnancy as opposed to identical…or if the kids are even in Canada or NONE OF THE ABOVE!!! The point is, he was a human being, he lost his life in extreme and tragic circumstances! Where are you so retarded??? https://www.cp24.com/mobile/news/the-95-people-who-lost-their-lives-in-toronto-s-most-deadly-year-1.4222145
My condolences to his mother and children. Imagine on the job and getting a call that your baby was shot dead. Oh mama I’m so sorry for your loss. Life I tell you.
I keep telling everybody here that the USA, Canada and the EU are awful places. China is much safer and has much kinder people. Antiguan’s still think Canada, etc. are the best countries, but they are really crappy places to live and visit. Antiguan’s need to start working and living in Asia, that is the future of the 21st century.
And China is heavily overpopulated who wants to move to that?shit I’ll take my chances with the gangstas
Have you looked at a map and seen how big China is? You seem kinda ignorant.
You seem very uneducated talking about “safe” try go to china and preach about Selassie, see if your safe then or just by having apps that are not prohibited by the country such as whatsapp. Not to mention public executions for petty crimes
Facts!!! That’s real , I’d prefer Japan tho
China? Where people just disappear? Antiguan love talk as you like and politics, none of that in China. You can’t say shit against the government
Honestly don’t think one should call down a place because an unfortunate situation happened. I am from the Caribbean and live in Canada and very proud to call it my home.
SIP Young man. My condolences to the John family.
Then you should become a Canadian citizen and renounce your Antigua citizenship. The sooner you do that, the better. The future for Antigua is China and the Asian economy. If you want to live in Canada with high crime rates, be our guest.
China is safer??i guess you haven’t been watching the news
Condolences to his family and friends
Seasons greetings my friend. All the best to your family,
Have not heard from you in a while.
My condolence to the family,SIP
