Officers tried to save the victim, but he was taken to hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries, police said.
The victim — identified as Nicola Maiorano, 57, of Toronto — is the city’s 65th murder victim of the year.
Police announced on Thursday that two suspects — Dylan Sherief, 30, and Donivan Comeau, 23, both of Toronto — had been arrested.
Sherief is charged with second-degree murder and Comeau is charged with accessory after the fact to murder.
Two men with matching names and ages were arrested in an unrelated case in January, but police were unable to confirm they are the same men charged now in Maiorano’s killing.
