The 10 people killed earlier this week after a rental van plowed into pedestrians on a roadway and sidewalks in northern Toronto were identified by authorities during a press conference Friday.

Toronto Police Homicide Inspector Bryan Bott and Chief Coroner for Ontario Dr. Dirk Huyer identified the deceased victims as:

-- Beutis Renuka Amarasingha, 45
-- Andrea Bradden, 33
-- Geraldine Brady, 83
-- So He Chung, 22
-- Anne-Marie D'Amico, 30
-- Mary Elizabeth Forsyth, 94
-- Ji Hun Kim, 22
-- Dorothy Sewell, 80
-- Chul Min Kang, 45
-- Munir Abdo Habib Najjar, 85

Two of the victims were foreign nationals. Ji Hun Kim was a student in Toronto originally from South Korea, while Munir Abdo Habib Najjar was from Jordan but was visiting family in Toronto.

Bott told reporters at the press conference that he did not have an update on the conditions of those who were wounded in Monday's attack.

Two more individuals have since come forward saying they were injured, bringing the total to 16. A 21-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman spoke with Toronto police this week, saying they were wounded in Monday's attack, but did not get transported to the hospital. Police said the two individuals were not at the scene when they responded.

While providing a brief update on the investigation, Bott said investigators have interviewed 170 witnesses and have over 100 more interviews to conduct.

"The response from the public has been overwhelming," he added. "I would like to thank the members of the public who have accessed the Toronto Police Service Web portal. We currently have 100-plus images that have been uploaded."

The alleged driver of the vehicle, identified as 25-year-old Alek Minassian of Toronto, has been arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder.

Before authorities released the victims' identities, some organizations and companies came forward saying their employees were among those killed.

Anne-Marie D'Amico

Anne-Marie D’Amico was among those killed, according to Tennis Canada, the sport's governing body within Canada, which confirmed that D'Amico had volunteered at its Rogers Cup professional tennis tournament since she was 12.

D'Amico started out as a ball girl and was most recently serving as committee head of stadium control, in addition to her full-time job at U.S.-based investment management firm Invesco, according to a statement from Tennis Canada. She was voted Tennis Canada's volunteer of the year in 2016.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Anne-Marie’s family and with all those impacted by this tragic event," Gavin Ziv, vice president of professional events at Tennis Canada, said in a statement Tuesday. "Anne-Marie lived for working at Rogers Cup and seeing her fellow volunteers each summer. The tournament was such a large part of her life and we were so lucky to have her on our team each summer. Her passion for Rogers Cup was contagious and we are honored to let the world know what an amazing person she was and the great things she did for others."

A spokesperson for Invesco confirmed that D'Amico worked for the firm and was among the victims in Monday's attack, but declined to provide further comment out of respect for her family.

Beutis Renuka Amarasingha

Beutis Renuka Amarasingha was also killed in Monday's attack, according to a statement from her employer, the Toronto District School Board, which is the largest school board in Canada.

Amarasingha, who graduated from one of the school board's adult programs, was a nutrition services staff member who had worked at a number of schools within the district since 2015. She had just finished up her first day at Earl Haig Secondary School when she was killed, according to the board's director of education, John Malloy.

"It is with heavy hearts that we are learning of the death of a TDSB staff member whose life was tragically cut short during Monday’s horrible events along Yonge Street," Malloy said in a statement released by the board Wednesday. "We are reaching out to her loved ones to support them in any way possible."

"On behalf of trustees, we extend our sincere condolences to Renuka’s family and friends," the board's chair, Robin Pilkey, said in the statement. "This is a difficult time for the students and staff that knew her and we will continue to provide support to them in the days and weeks ahead."
