TORONTO – A pair of 18-year-olds have been charged with first-degree murder in last month’s deadly shooting at the Salsa on St. Clair festival, police said Friday, vowing to heighten security around other major street festivals. People light candles during a vigil for healing following a weekend shooting that left two dead at the Salsa on St. Clair street party in Toronto, Monday, July 13, 2026. At a Friday news conference, police said they no longer believe there was an exchange of gunfire at the festival shooting, as they initially reported. Last year, 20 people were killed and 101 people were injured by gun violence, the second fewest in the last two decades. The two men charged in the Salsa on St. Clair shooting face a combined 37 charges, police said.
