TORONTO — A procession will bring the body of Toronto Const. Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed in the line of duty last week, to a funeral home in Thornhill.
Pinizzotto was fatally shot at an apartment building on Martha Eaton Way on Thursday while investigating multiple shootings, including one at the U.S. Consulate in March.
Police say 19-year-old Nicholas Bennett, who was shot multiple times in the exchange of gunfire, is charged with first-degree murder.
Police say Zara Jabbi, a 19-year-old suspect wanted in the consulate shooting, is still on the loose and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Tributes from Prime Minister Mark Carney, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and others have poured in for the 43-year-old fallen officer.
The motorcade will leave the Office of the Chief Coroner at 3 p.m. today.
