Toronto police have upgraded the charges against Toronto-based rapper Top5 to first-degree murder in connection with a North York shooting in January that left a 20-year-old man dead. On the night of Jan. 31, police said they responded to reports of shots fired near Jane Street and Falstaff Avenue. Officers said Hashim Omar Hashi, 20, was shot multiple times in his vehicle while trying to enter a parking garage. Hashim Omar Hashi, 20, described as 'humble, kind and hardworking,' was gunned down on Jan. 31 while he was in his vehicle. In a news release issued Thursday evening, police said charges against Ali have been upgraded and he is now wanted for first-degree murder and three counts of failure to comply with recognizance.
