Details are expected to be released at a 2 p.m. news conference Wednesday.
The shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. on March 7 at Piper Arms pub near Progress Avenue and McCowan Road, steps from Scarborough Town Centre.
The incident occurred on the day of the bar’s grand opening.
Police previously said three suspects armed with an assault rifle and two handguns, entered the pub and opened fire indiscriminately before fleeing in a silver car.
Authorities described the attack as “brazen” and urged the public to come forward with any information or video footage that could aid the investigation.
