On Friday, police released four videos from the night. Between them, they show the two suspects and the victim, who was waiting for aride to work at around 3:30 a.m., as well as a suspect vehicle.

"This was a horrific, cowardly and uncalled for act against Mr. Wheeler, Det.-Sgt. Ted Lioumanis said on Friday afternoon, per CTV News. "He did not deserve this. Nobody deserves to die, to get shot and die in our city."

Lioumanis added: "Right now in the investigation there is nothing to show any type of criminality on Mr. Wheeler’s part. I think wrong place, wrong time."

Police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
