Niagara police say a 22-year-old man from the Scarborough area of Toronto faces two counts of first-degree murder for a double homicide in Fort Erie. We're relieved but this is Step 1 in a long process," Lisa Mulcaster, Pannunzio's mother, told CBC Hamilton in a phone interview. A group of people who weren't from the Niagara Region were staying at the short-term rental accommodation, according to investigators. Stephanie Sabourin​, a spokesperson for Niagara police, did not confirm if Lucas was previously known to police. Police say the investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with information or evidence to contact the Niagara Regional Police Service's homicide unit tip line at (289) 248-1058.
