Durham Police – Multiple Shooting Victims in Oshawa Identified

In Police Blotter

The Coroner’s Office has been able to confirm the identity of the four family members murdered in an Oshawa home on September 4, 2020.

 

The deceased have been identified as Chris TRAYNOR, age 50; and his children Bradley TRAYNOR, age 20; Adelaide TRAYNOR, age 15; and Joseph TRAYNOR, age 11, all of Parklane Avenue in Oshawa. A 50-year-old female injured in the attack is recovering in hospital.
