One person is dead, and another is injured following an afternoon shooting in a Scarborough apartment building on Monday, according to Toronto police.
Police said officers were called to 4301 Kingston Road around 12:40 p.m. after receiving reports of multiple gunshots heard at an apartment building.
When officers arrived, they located a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, police said.
Police said Toronto paramedics started life-saving measures, but the male was subsequently pronounced deceased at the scene.
In an update Tuesday, police said the man was found inside an apartment. He was identified as 24-year-old Mark Riley from Toronto.
Officers also located a second man in the building suffering from gunshot wounds. Police said he was transported to a hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
“We have a man who has been detained but his medical needs right now are taking precedence,” Insp. Suzanne Redman told reporters at the scene.
Police say they are still investigating and are requesting the public’s assistance.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
