Downtown Toronto death deemed a homicide; Ajax home hit with gunfire

Satwant 'Sonny' Sangha, 41, was found dead in a home on Friday

Toronto police have apprehended a suspect in the 2022 murder of 31-year-old Ding Ping Wang, nearly a year after releasing a sketch of the suspect. The homicide occurred in November 2022 when Wang was shot while sitting in his vehicle in the Midland Avenue and Passmore Avenue area of Toronto. Surveillance video, a re-enactment, and a digital composite sketch were released to the public in July 2023, prompting public assistance in solving the case.

Two weeks later, police announced the arrest of a suspect in a different offense, leading to the breakthrough in the 2022 murder investigation. Justin Longshaw, 39, was arrested on Monday and faces a first-degree murder charge. Police are still investigating Longshaw's connection to the 2023 attempted murder. Longshaw has a lengthy criminal record, including a 2019 conviction for threatening security staff with an imitation firearm.
