A man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Lorenzo Martinez.

Martinez was shot at 70 Stevenvale Dr. near Lawrence Avenue and Markham Road on Feb. 11. He was rushed to Sunnybrook Hospital with no vital signs but died on the way.

Police are asking the public for any information that could help in searching for Pathan to contact Crime Stoppers at 416−222−TIPS.
