Toronto police arrest man in 2022 homicide days after releasing artist sketch
It was November 2022 when Toronto police were called to reports of a shooting in the Midland Avenue and Passmore Avenue area of the city.
Toronto police have arrested a 39-year-old man, Justin Longshaw, in connection with a 2022 first-degree murder case. The victim, 31-year-old Ding Ping Wang, was fatally shot in November 2022 at a parking lot on Midland Avenue and Passmore Avenue. Police released surveillance video, a re-enactment, and a digital composite sketch two months after the shooting, seeking public assistance.
In July 2023, they announced a breakthrough when they believed they had the right suspect. Two weeks later, Longshaw was identified as the man known as "Jay." He was arrested on Monday for the 2022 murder and is also being investigated for an attempted murder in March of the same year. Longshaw has a lengthy criminal record, including a 60-day prison sentence for threatening Cabana Pool Bar security staff in 2019. He is currently in custody awaiting trial for the 2023 attempted murder charge.
