- Delete It looked like this might have had some traction when it was reported as a mosque shooting, but it happened blocks away from the strip-mall mosque where the victims had attended prayers and was most likely a case of mistaken identity (drug dealers mistaking the victims for rival drug dealers rolling onto their turf) than some kind of hate crime. – Reidgreg ( talk) 02:41, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

- Comment: If kept, it should be moved to a more descriptive title. In trying to find information about this shooting, I largely came across information about an unrelated shooting in Scarborough in June. [1] Tartar Torte 19:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. We can't indiscriminately keep an article about every single shooting that happens in the world; we need to see long-term significance that would pass the ten year test, not just "this is a thing that happened", before a permanent Wikipedia article about it would become justified.
