A suspect is facing a first-degree murder charge after a shooting at a residential building in Toronto Monday evening that left one man dead.
Toronto police said officers responded to the Dundas Street West and Avonhurst Road area, near Kipling Avenue, just after 7 p.m. for a shooting.
Officers located a victim, identified as 55-year-old Mohamed Said Mohamed, with gunshot wounds.
He died at the scene, marking Toronto’s 25th homicide of 2023.
Insp. Suzanne Redman told reporters on Monday that the shooting happened in a unit.
“A suspect was taken into custody and a firearm has been recovered,” she said.
Toronto resident Abdiaziz Abdi, 64, has been charged with first-degree murder and was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
There is no word on what relationship, if any, there was between the accused and the victim.
