A September Shooting on the Danforth Ends With an Arrest Two Months Later
A night out on Toronto's Danforth Avenue allegedly turned violent when a confrontation outside a licensed establishment ended in gunfire. Nearly two months later, police have arrested a 45-year-old Toronto man in connection with the shooting.
Toronto police say officers responded to a shooting near Danforth Avenue and Greenwood Avenue on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, at approximately 2 a.m.
An Altercation That Allegedly Turned Into Gunfire
According to police, the accused attended a licensed establishment in the area before becoming involved in an altercation with another patron outside.
Police allege the confrontation escalated when he produced a firearm and discharged it, striking the other patron. He then allegedly fled the scene.
Arrest Comes Two Months Later
The investigation continued until Saturday, October 31, 2026, when police arrested Stasky St Clair, 45, of Toronto.
Police further allege that he was found with a loaded 9mm firearm in his possession at the time of his arrest.
He was charged with:
- Discharge Firearm with Intent
- Aggravated Assault
- Two counts of Possession of a Loaded Firearm
- Two counts of Possession of a Firearm Contrary to Prohibition Order
- Possession of a Loaded Firearm in a Motor Vehicle
- Possession of a Prohibited Device (magazine)
When and Where Is the Court Appearance?
St Clair was scheduled to appear at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre, 2201 Finch Avenue West, on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 10 a.m., in room 106.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-2510.
The charges have not been proven in court.
The Twikup Take
A shooting can last seconds. The investigation that follows can take much longer.
Nearly two months after the September 1 incident, police have made an arrest and laid multiple firearm-related charges. The case now moves to the courts, where the allegations will be tested.
The Danforth shooting has led to an arrest, but the legal process is only beginning.
