One victim is still in hospital with serious injuries.
York Regional Police (YRP) has publicly identified the five people who were killed in the mass shooting inside a Vaughan condo building.
On Sunday, December 19, the alleged shooter moved between several different units and floors in the condo building near Jane Street and Rutherford Road north of Toronto, killing five people and injuring another.
Police said 73-year-old Francesco Villi was later killed in an interaction with police on the third floor.
In a news release issued Tuesday afternoon, police revealed the identities of all of the victims.
Among the five killed, from youngest to oldest, were 57-year-old Rita Camilleri, 59-year-old Naveed Dada, 71-year-old Helen Manock, 75-year-old Russell Manock, and 79-year-old Vittorio Panza.
A sixth victim of the shooting was identified only as a 66-year-old woman and police she said is still in the hospital with serious injuries.
In a previous update on Sunday's mass shooting, YRP had confirmed that all of the victims lived in the condo building where the shooting took place and that three of the victims were members of the condo board.
