A Toronto rapper is dead after being shot numerous times in his car in what police are calling a brazen attack in downtown Toronto.
Det. Sgt. Steve Ryan says the victim identified as Shmar Parris, 25, who social media messages of condolence said also went by the name Murda Marz, a rapper who several videos posted on YouTube was known to police and the overnight shooting is believed to be a targeted attack.
Ryan says a light-coloured SUV was seen driving erratically away from the scene but there are no details on any suspects or how many may be involved.
Police say Parris was pronounced dead in hospital Friday after being found slumped in the drivers seat of the car with multiple gunshot wounds in Cabbagetown, near Carlton Street and Parliament Street.
