Still lacking suspects after the deadly Muziknightclub shootings, Toronto Crime Stoppers called on Drake to urge his fans to provide information in the case.

Two people, Toronto's Ariela Navarro-Fenoy and Brampton's Duvel Hibbert, were slain in two separate shootings that took place around 3:20 a.m., followingthe after-party for Drake's OVO Fest. The first shooting took place on the patio of Muzik nightclub, while the second happened nearby as the some 4,000 people who were inside the club fled the scene.

Neither the Toronto rapper nor his OVO label have commented on the shootings in the wake of the incident.

On Thursday, Crime Stoppers tweeted Drake who is still in the cityto ask him to meet with them.

"We do believe that through his voice and through his influence that we can generate tips,"said Chris Scherk, the co-ordinator of Crime Stoppers.

Some Drake fans, meanwhile, have criticized the rapperfor his silence about the shootings. Many have sent tweets or Instagram comments to Drake asking him todo something.

CBC News has made multiple attempts to contact Drake, with no response.

In 2013, Drake mourned the victims of theDanzig Street shooting with a rap on aSnoop Lion song called "No Guns Allowed."

"Told you no guns and you didn't listen," he rhymes on that song.

Corrections

  • An earlier version of this article indicated it was Toronto police who asked Drake to help in the shooting investigation. It was in fact Toronto's Crime Stoppers who made the request.
