Phillip Grant – one of two suspected killers who had been sought following a deadly shooting that killed two men and wounded a woman – was arrested in Windsor on Wednesday.
Toronto Police say the triple shooting unfolded at a business at 150 Thirtieth St., located south of Horner Ave., which was believed to have been a recording studio, around 8:45 p.m., on Jan. 3, 2022.
Responding officers located two men suffering from gunshot wounds, and they found a woman nearby who was injured.
