A suspect in a fatal shooting that rocked the Corso Italia neighborhood last week has been identified by police. However, as of now, investigators have been unable to locate the individual, adding a layer of tension to an already unsettling incident.

The incident unfolded at approximately 7:30 p.m. on August 24th, sending shockwaves through the St. Clair Avenue West and Northcliffe Boulevard area, situated near Dufferin Street. It was in this quiet neighborhood that the tranquility of the evening was shattered by the sound of gunshots.

According to law enforcement officials, a man who had fallen victim to the violence entered a nearby restaurant seeking assistance. His arrival prompted a rapid response from officers and paramedics, who arrived on the scene to find not just the wounded man but also a 51-year-old woman who had sustained injuries in the same incident. Both victims were swiftly transported to the hospital for urgent medical attention, their lives hanging in the balance.

Tragically, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, the young man, identified as 23-year-old Nakhan Negus Henry-Robinson, could not be saved. His untimely passing marked a grim milestone in a neighborhood that is unaccustomed to such violence.

In the wake of this heart-wrenching loss, investigators have been diligently working to piece together the puzzle surrounding this shooting. Their efforts have led them to identify a suspect, 26-year-old Ridge Kazumba, who is now wanted for one count of second-degree murder in connection with this tragic homicide. However, Kazumba is not just a person of interest; he is considered “armed and dangerous,” according to the authorities.

Kazumba has been described by investigators as approximately six feet tall, with a medium to heavy build, brown eyes, and short black hair. In light of the potential danger he poses, the public is urged not to approach him if sighted. Instead, they are advised to call 9-1-1 immediately, allowing trained professionals to handle the situation safely.

As the manhunt intensifies and the community grapples with the shockwaves of this tragedy, the hope remains that justice will be served, bringing closure to the grieving family and restoring a sense of security to Corso Italia.
