Third suspect arrested in connection to fatal shooting

Toronto police have arrested a third suspect in connection with a fatal shooting earlier this month.

Nnamdi Ogba, 26, was shot to death while walking to his car in a Toronto Community Housing complex in the city’s west end after visiting friends on March 16.

Police officers arrested Trevaughan Miller, 19, and Abdullahi Mohamed, 22, on Thursday on first-degree murder charges.

Police spokeswoman Katrina Arrogante says Friday that detectives had made a third arrest in the case.

She says she could not release the identity of the person arrested.

Officials have said that Ogba was an innocent bystander caught in a dispute between residents of two neighbourhoods.

Investigators believe the shooters come from another area of the city and “harbour some sort of animosity” toward the area where the shooting took place, Det. Jason Shankaran said Thursday.

Ogba was an electrical engineer and had no criminal record. He was engaged to be married.

“Mr. Ogba did nothing to bring this upon himself. The evidence we have in front of us tells us that Mr. Ogba’s lifestyle, his activities, anything he did prior did not lead to this particular incident,” Shankaran said of Ogba when police were looking for suspects earlier this month. “The only thing that led to his death was simply walking out of that building at that particular time and place.”
