A second victim, a 58-year-old man, was found with stab wounds, Allington said. He was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries but his condition is now stable.
Allington said the two men are related and both live at the house together. The victims names were not released as family is still being notified.
“I believe this to be a targeted incident and that it is isolated,” Allington said.
Police are looking for two male suspects who were both wearing dark clothing at the time of the shooting and stabbing, Allington said. The suspects fled on foot.
It is unclear if the victims knew the suspects or how the suspects made their way into the home.
Anyone with information or surveillance footage of the area is asked to contact police.
This is Toronto’s 85th homicide so far this year.
