Toronto police say two teens have been arrested after a 19-year-old man was found fatally shot inside a bathroom at Scarborough Town Centre last week.
Police said they were called to the mall on Aug. 21, just before 2 p.m., for reports that someone had been shot.
That’s when officers found 19-year-old Daniel Amalathas in the washroom with gunshot injuries. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. A firearm was also recovered at the scene.
Police at the time said the shooting was being investigated as a targeted killing.
In an update on Friday, investigators said they have arrested two 17-year-old boys. They are each charged with second-degree murder.
Due to their age, they cannot be identified because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
