Police to provide update on fatal Scarborough shooting
Toronto police have released surveillance footage and an artist's rendering of a suspect in a 2022 fatal shooting in Scarborough. The footage shows the suspect conducting reconnaissance at the crime scene the day before the murder of Ding Ping Wang.
Why it matters
The release of new evidence nearly four years later highlights ongoing efforts to solve cold cases and provides a rare look at premeditated criminal behavior.
Toronto police say a suspect who shot and killed a 31-year-old father in Scarborough in 2022 was seen on video conducting “reconnaissance” at the scene of the crime the day before the murder.
Ding Ping Wang was shot while sitting in his vehicle in the parking lot of a plaza in the area of Midland and Passmore avenues on the evening of Nov. 12, 2022.
Nearly four years after the murder, police are now releasing surveillance footage from the scene that was captured the day before the homicide. The video, police said, shows the man they believe to be responsible for the shooting walking through the plaza on Nov. 11.
Det.-Sgt. Sajeev Nair told reporters Tuesday that the footage came to light after a witness recently came forward to report a suspicious person on the property the day before the homicide.
