Friends of Carrington posted his photo online identifying him as the victim on social media Thursday. They say Carrington loved rap music and had just left a recording studio Wednesday night when he was shot.
Carrington was one two people charged in the Garden Restaurant attack in November 2014 that killed a 31-year-old Mississauga man and left two others injured. The charges against Carrington were later stayed.
