The deceased have been identified as:

  • Chris Traynor, age 50; and his children
  • Bradley Traynor, age 20

They were all residents of Parklane Avenue in Oshawa. A 50-year-old female injured in the attack is recovering in hospital. She has not been named.

Investigators also want to speak to anyone who knew the lone attacker, Mitchell Lapa, as they seek to understand the motivation and reasons for this attack, said a police statement issued yesterday evening.

If anyone has details or background information about him, they are asked to contact their local police service or one of our lead investigators: Det. McDermott (ext. 5411) or Det. Dorego (ext. 5319) of the Homicide Unit at 1-888-579-1520.
