Toronto police say a 25-year-old man has died after a shooting in the city’s east end Thursday evening.
Emergency crews were called to a commercial property on McNicoll Avenue near Middlefield Road, east of McCowan Road, just before 10 p.m.
“The injuries were very severe and the man unfortunately passed away, so at this point in time we’re conducting an investigation to try and determine what happened.”
Police said the victim, who was later identified as Charankan Chandrakanthan, died at the scene.
As of Friday, officers didn’t release a suspect description. However, he noted there were a lot of surveillance cameras in the area.
Gotell said there were several potential witnesses in the parking lot when paramedics arrived. He said the people present left after the arrival of emergency crews, adding there may have been a party in the parking lot.
Anyone with information was asked to call the homicide squad at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
