Deo was sitting in the driver’s seat of a white Range Rover in the laneway of a building on Yonge Street and Soudan Avenue at around 3 p.m. when he was shot several times through the window of the vehicle.

Schertzer confirmed Deo was known to police, but said he had no contact with Toronto police.
Some members of the IS, along with some in the Hells Angels and some Red Scorpion gangsters are using the Wolf Pack identity, Houghton said.
Police sources told CTV Toronto Deo was a “big-time coke dealer”, though his British Columbia record only showed convictions for resisting a police officer, driving while suspended and assault.
But police say they likely weren’t construction workers. He told the Sun that Sukh, who had moved to Toronto a few years ago, was running a trucking company with a friend.
Houghton said the Wolf Pack has both national and worldwide connections despite its B.C. origins.
One of the fans in attendance that night was Sukh Deo, and he made headlines during the game after he got ejected for heckling the National Basketball Association referees who were working that night.
His brother Harjit Singh Deo was convicted in 2007 in a kidnapping for ransom case in which the victim was kept in the garage of the Deo family home.
Sukhvir’s father – who has not visited India since 2011 and has a red Corner notice against him by the Interpol – travelled from Vancouver to Toronto on Tuesday night.
“Any shooting is shocking”.
“The family wants whoever is responsible for this to be brought to justice and asks anyone with information to contact police”.
“There have been many things written and said about Suk alleging all manner of things that are not true”.
A statement from the family said that they were going through a “difficult time” and that they were “shattered” by his death.
“We have downloaded hours and hours of video and accessed a number of different CCTV cameras in the area and we’re still analyzing”, Schertzer said.
