Vasudev, a first-semester marketing management student at Seneca College, was leaving for his part-time job on Thursday around 5 pm when he was shot at Sherbourne subway station. Officers arrived to find him with multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital where he later died.
Police have arrested a man they say is responsible for a pair of random shootings in Toronto that killed two "completely innocent" men just going about their lives.
Toronto police announced on Tuesday that 39-year-old Richard Jonathan Edwin has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Kartik Vasudev and Elijah Eleazar Mahepath.

Police said Mahepath, 35, was walking in the area after picking up groceries when he too was fatally shot by the suspect.
Sgt. Terry Browne told reporters during a news conference on Tuesday " video surveillance footage was used to track the suspect 'both from the area where he resides to the area of the shooting, and then back to his residence."
The suspect was then arrested at his residence in the Spadina Avenue and Bloor Street West area on Sunday night, police say.
At the time of his arrest, police allege there were multiple loaded firearms found in his residence, including a rifle.
"My personal opinion is there were going to be more victims," Police Chief James Ramer said during the news conference. "When? I don’t know. But he had an arsenal at home and quite frankly I believe this may have just been the first step"
Ritik Sharma, president of the Seneca Student Federation said “He was an innocent child and I hope each and everyone remembers him as a hard-working, ambitious, and inspiring international student’’.
