A 50-year-old man has died in hospital after he was shot while sitting in a vehicle in Toronto’s north end early Wednesday.
Emergency crews were called to Stilecroft Drive behind Grandravine Arena, west of Keele Street and north of Sheppard Avenue West, just before 5 a.m.

Hart’s death marks the city’s 47th homicide of the year.
In an update released Wednesday evening, investigators appealed to anyone who knows Hart or has spoken with him in the past week to contact them.
