Toronto police have charged two more suspects in connection with a fatal shooting in downtown Toronto on Saturday.

A 22-year-old man and a 23-year-old man have been charged with second-degree murder, Toronto police said in a news release Monday evening.

On Sunday, a 22-year-old man was also arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting.

Police have identified the victim as 20-year-old Olivier Dundas.

In a statement and tweet on Monday, Ryerson University said Dundas was a journalism student at the school.

"On behalf of Ryerson University, we extend our deepest sympathies to the student's family, friends and loved ones," the university said in the statement.

The university's school of journalism said it was "shocked and saddened" by his death.

Dundas was shot near Bloor Street East and Church Street. Officers were called to the scene shortly before 11 p.m. on Saturday.

When officers arrived, they found Dundas and tried to save his life. Toronto paramedics rushed him without any vital signs to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
