Toronto police have identified the victim in a Saturday evening shooting near Union Station that left one man dead and briefly paused all trains and buses through the busy transportation hub.
Police say 24-year-old Stephon Little-McClacken of Toronto was pronounced dead at the scene.
The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. shortly after the end of a Blue Jays baseball game.
Toronto Police Const. Alex Li says investigators are looking for a suspect described as a Black male, six feet tall with a medium build and was last seen wearing a light-coloured top and dark-coloured pants.
A few hours after the Union Station shooting, police say two people were seriously wounded in a separate shooting at a nightclub in Toronto.
Police say the incident in the downtown core took place about 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, and left a man and a woman with life-threatening injuries.

A third shooting in the city on Sunday evening at Danforth Rd. and Main St. left a man in his 40s with non-life-threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made in any of the shootings, but police have said they believe the incident at Union Station was targeted.
Li said any shooting is serious and tragic, but acknowledged such incidents are particularly troubling for residents when they take place in such public settings.
