Toronto police have arrested a 21-year-old man in the deadly shooting of Shakur Clarke-Sargeant, also known as rapper YTN Paco.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested in the shooting death of a Toronto rapper in Scarborough on Monday night.

Police were called to Kingston and Galloway roads before 10:30 p.m. and located 23-year-old Shakur Clarke-Sargeant suffering gunshot wounds.

Life-saving measures were performed but Clarke-Sargeant, known as the rapper YTN Paco, was pronounced dead at the scene. He is the city’s 32nd homicide victim of the year.

One suspect had been arrested, and in a news release on Friday, police identified him as 21-year-old Jeavon Quashie.
