A 52-year-old man has died and two men have been injured after a shooting outside a west-end Toronto apartment building Saturday night, police say.

Emergency crews were called to the building on Martha Eaton Way, located near the intersection of Black Creek and Trethewey drives and a short distance away from the 12 Division station, just before 10:30 p.m.

According to an update issued by Toronto police, officers were called to the property after receiving reports of multiple gunshots being heard.

Officers found Toronto resident Jerome Jean-Louis Sylvester near a sidewalk just outside the building, but he died a short time later.

A 29-year-old man and a 57-year-old man were taken to hospital by paramedics with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
