(Video) Murder of Rapper Drake’s Friend Anthony Soares Caught on Tape.
Soares can be seen in the footage standing in the lobby of his apartment building while two hooded gunmen run up to him and start shooting. The video blurs out Soares after the shots are fired. The killers seemed to have let off around 10-12 shots. Drake mourned the loss of his friend in a heartfelt Instagram post last week. “RIP to one of our family members…our brother…I still can’t even believe this morning was real. It was an honor to have shared years together and I will always keep your memory alive,” he wrote.
Soares, who was holding takeaway food at the time, immediately collapsed but the two men continued to shoot at least a dozen rounds each.
One of the men could be seen wiping finger prints from the door and firing one final shot before they both fled in a white Ford Fusion driven by a third suspect.

Soares was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency surgery but he later died.
The second video released by police shows the getaway car pulling up and speeding away after the attack.
‘In essence, the deceased was trapped between the inner foyer area and the offenders who were on the opposite side of the glass,’ Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux from Toronto Police Homicide unit said.
