A man is dead after a shooting in Toronto's west end

One person was killed in a shooting on the city's west side Tuesday morning, Toronto police said.

It happened just before 2 a.m. near Bloor Street and Lansdowne Avenue.

Police said they were called to the area for a report of shots fired and found a 20-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital but died soon after.

Another man, in his 20s, was taken to the hospital after the shooting with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, police said.

“We are trying to determine if there is any direct connection to this particular homicide,” said Det. Mike McGinn told reporters at the scene during an update Tuesday morning. “This is the initial stage of the investigation.”

Police did not release any details about the suspects.

It is not yet known how many shots were fired or exactly where the man was shot, but McGinn confirmed that police believe there is a “connection” between the shooting and the front of the neighboring houses.

“It's too early to say right now where they were when the shooting happened,” he added.

Police have not released the name of the deceased as they are notifying next of kin.

“As time goes on, we will provide you with more information,” McGinn said.

Investigators are asking anyone with surveillance video in the area to contact police. They are also asking residents to look for any items that have been “abandoned” on their property.
