Toronto police are looking into what they call a cryptic social media post made before the deadly van attack on Yonge Street.
Detective Sergeant Graham Gibson couldn’t say anything about why 25-year-old Alek Minassian may have carried out Monday’s attack that killed 10 people and injured 14 others.
“The investigation is extremely detailed and ongoing. Because the accused has been charged, I’m restricted from discussing any evidence involved in the investigation including any questions pertaining to motive,” he says.
Minassian is facing 10 charges of murder and 13 charges of attempted murder, but police expect to add a 14th charge.
Police say they’re not ready to announce names of the victims at this point.
