Police have released two news surveillance videos in the hopes of finding the killers of Anthony “Fif” Soares, who was shot on September 14. Soares was a friend of rapper Drake.

Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux from Toronto Police Homicide unit said the attack on Soares, a 33-year-old Toronto man, was “very focused.” It took place in the lobby of a high-rise apartment at Kennedy Rd. and Glamorgan Ave. after Soares had been dropped off by a friend.

In the first video, Soares is shown in the foyer of the building, attempting to buzz up to enter, when two assailants run up with guns drawn and shoot at him from the outside through the glass doors. After the doors shatter, they continue to fire upon him before fleeing in a white Ford Fusion driven by an unseen third suspect. The second video shows the car, which looks new and has tinted windows, pulling up and speeding away after the attack.

Police were called to the scene just before 3 a.m. and Soares was taken to hospital with numerous gunshot wounds, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Rapper Drake posted a photo of Soares on his Instagram after the news of his death had come out, calling him one of his “family members.”
