The two killed were a man and woman in their 20s and 30s.
Police are investigating other shootings in the area that are also believed to be linked to the violence at Drake’s after-party at Muzik.
Three people were hospitalized with various injuries and one female has been treated and released.
At least three more people were critically wounded at Toronto’s Muzik nightclub early Tuesday, Canadian news station CP 24 reported.
Inside the nightclub, police found one man who died after being shot on an outdoor patio.
He told the media: ‘We’re lucky there wasn’t a larger body count.
“We’re here today to say enough is enough, to mass shootings in our schools, our college campuses, our military bases and even in our movie theaters”, she said, and added that she and her cousin, Democratic Sen.
A young woman was pronounced dead at the scene while another man later died in hospital.
The terrifying incident followed Drake’s performance at Ovo Fest 2015, which also included appearances by J Cole, Big Sean and YG, with surprise guests Kanye West, Pharrell and UK grime star Skepta.
One person is taken to hospital after a shooting at the Exhibition Grounds on August 4, 2015. “A well-run event with lots of police officers in and around the area, culminating on a large evening event that occurred over at the OVO Festival“. “We don’t know if it happened inside Muzik nightclub yet or outside but it seems to be centred around that nightclub”.

The event doesn’t reflect well upon Muzik, which had a man shot in front of the premises during 2014…during the the OVO after-party.
