Investigators say officers discovered an injured man after responding to a call around 8:30 p.m. on Monday night near Glenridge Avenue and Marsdale Drive.
The 32-year-old was transported to hospital where he was eventually pronounced dead.
Another man was taken into custody but has not been charged in the incident.
Detectives remain on scene as of Tuesday morning and believe there is no threat to public safety.
Residents are being asked to stay out of the area amid an ongoing investigation.
Police say they are looking into how two vehicles and two men, believed to have been in the area between 6:p.m and 10:p.m on Monday night, may be connected to the incident.
One vehicle is a four-door dark coloured Mercedes Benz e-class or s-class sedan, the other a four-door grey Dodge pick-up with “REBEL” written on the side of the box.
The two men have slim builds and are about 6 feet tall. The pair were seen walking on Marsdale Avenue towards Glendale Avenue.
