Toronto police are actively searching for a second suspect in connection with a shooting that occurred at Polson Pier on July 12. The incident involved a 25-year-old man named Omar Abdul Singateh from Brampton, who allegedly exchanged gunfire with an unidentified suspect.

Two victims were hospitalized with gunshot wounds, and one other was taken to a hospital after being hit by the stolen car. The 25-year-old suspect also sustained gunshot injuries and was subsequently arrested. Police recovered a firearm from the stolen vehicle and charged Singateh with seven offenses, including reckless firearm discharge, robbery, four counts of forcible confinement, dangerous vehicle operation resulting in bodily harm, and possessing a firearm while prohibited.
On Monday, police released new images of the sought-after suspect, describing him as having a moustache and last seen wearing a black ball cap, black T-shirt, light-colored pants, and black shoes. Authorities are urging the public to assist in identifying this individual.
