Two Peel Region men are in custody on first-degree murder charges and police are hunting a third in the shooting death last year of a 32-year-old father.
The body of Dwayne Alexander Thompson was discovered Nov. 1 behind a three-storey building on Darcel Avenue in Malton after police responded to several 911 calls reporting gunshots.
He had been shot several times. His car was found nearby the next day.
