A police investigation is underway after two people died following an April 15 shooting in Toronto's Riverdale area. (Simon Sheehan/CP24) Two additional suspects are facing first-degree murder charges in connection with a double homicide in Toronto's east end last month. Police say 18-year-old Abdulrahman Zein and a 17-year-old male youth, both from Toronto, were arrested in Barrie on Monday on Canada-wide warrants. A 17-year-old male youth from Toronto was previously charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the April 15 shooting that left Quentin Caza, 18, and Jeremy McNeil, 20, dead. Police were called to the scene on Bain Avenue near Logan Avenue, a residential area in the city's Riverdale neighbourhood near The Danforth, for reports of gunshots shortly after 11 p.m. on April 15. Officers arrived to find Caza and McNeil with gunshot wounds. One was pronounced dead at the scene and the other was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police did not say where either victim died. They are the city's ninth and 10th homicide victims, respectively, of the year.

DNA solves 1975 murders of two teenage girls, BSO says
Nearly 50 years after the brutal killings of two 14-year-old girls, the Broward Sheriff's Office Cold Case Homicide Unit said it has solved the 1975 double homicide. Breakthrough came through DNA, witness accounts BSO Detective Andrew Gianino said advances in DNA testing, new witness information and detailed investigative work led the agency to identify Robert Clark Keebler and Lawrence Stein as the men responsible for the murders of Darlene Zetterower and Barbara Schreiber. According to detectives, the girls were last seen getting into a van with two men in Hollywood after completing eighth grade. Their bodies were found the next day on the edge of the Everglades. Detectives said DNA samples recovered from the girls' clothing matched Keebler and Stein. Both men are now dead. Case considered cleared "The case was filed with the Broward State Attorney's Office for prosecution as though the defendants were alive. However, they had died years ago," Gianino said. "So, a case that is exceptionally cleared is because the defendants are dead, and the prosecuting attorney agreed with our assessment that if they were alive, they would be criminally prosecuted for these homicides." Gianino said he hopes the resolution offers some measure of comfort to the families of the victims. "(Keebler and Stein) lived full lives, very violent lives," Gianino said. "I don't know if it's justice. But at least it gives the family some answers." Sheriff says commitment to cold cases remains strong The full-time Cold Case Unit was launched in 2019 to investigate unsolved homicides and sex crimes, some dating back decades. Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony said the department remains committed to closing cases like this one. "I commend the work of the BSO Cold Case Homicide and Crime Lab units that refused to let Barbara and Darlene's violent deaths go unanswered and their voices unheard," Tony said. "Sadly, these two men will not be tried in a court of law, but this outcome should reassure the community that BSO is committed to pursuing justice no matter how long it takes." Family expresses gratitude Kimberly Schreiber, Barbara's sister, said she is thankful for the efforts of everyone involved in solving the case and wishes her late parents and brother had lived to hear the news. "They'd be so happy that somebody didn't give up," Schreiber said. "That your team didn't give up. That detective Andrew didn't give up." "It does hurt and it does destroy and it does give us some closure in our days in coming to smile again." "I give my thanks to everyone on this team who never gave up, never forgot," Schreiber said. "This team has done everything to find the people that did this tremendous, horrible thing to my family."
