A man and woman have been killed in a shooting at Drake's OVO festival afterparty in Toronto, Billboard reports. Three others are in hospital with critical injuries. The shooting occurred just before 3:30 a.m. this morning at Muzik, a nightclub near Molson Amphitheatre, where OVO ended its two-night run last night. Police say the victims were in their 20s and 30s.
Toronto Police Superintendent Frank Bergen, of 14 Division, told media that “this is a sporadic shooting that did occur just before 3:30 this morning at 15 Saskatchewan. It’s the Muzik Nightclub. A well-run event with lots of police officers in and around the area, culminating on a large evening event that occurred over at the OVO Festival.”
Bergen added: “What occurred originally in the bar area had spilled out into the streets so south and north of this area we do have three separate crimes scenes. At this point we do know for certain that one or two [shootings] were in the nightclub and we believe the others were outside of that area. This is all unfolding now and we’re doing our investigation.”
The party, which was open to the public, was billed as “The official OVO fest after-party, hosted by Drake with music by Charlie B."
Police believe there are other victims. They've asked anyone who needs assistance or who can offer new information to call Homicide, Crime Stoppers, or 14 Div. at 416 808 1400.
